Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), which was signed into law on August 10, 2005, established the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core Federal-aid program. The overall purpose of this program is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads through the implementation of infrastructure-related highway safety improvements.
The specific provisions pertaining to the HSIP are defined in Section 1401 of SAFETEA-LU which amended Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code (23 USC 148) to incorporate these provisions. These provisions are still in effect due to Continuing Resolutions passed by Congress during Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10.
Caltrans solicited project applications for the 3rd Cycle of the HSIP on July 21, 2009. Agencies were provided until October 8, 2009 to submit an application. On January 26, 2010, Caltrans released the list of projects approved for funding.
A call for projects will be made later this year for Cycle 4. Continue to check this website for updates. To ensure you are notified of all updates to the Local Assistance website, you may subscribe to the list server at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/sub.htm.
