Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

Section 1401 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act - Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) amended Section 148 of Title 23 to create a new, core Highway Safety Improvement Program. This new Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) replaces the Hazard Elimination Safety Program, (23 U.S.C §152).

Applications of candidate HSIP projects for the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 Federal Fiscal Years were due to Caltrans District Offices by February 29, 2008. Caltrans is now in the process of project review and selection. Caltrans plans to release an approved list of projects in May, 2008 and will post that list on this website.
