Abstract:The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act or “MAP-21” (Pub. L. 112-141, 126 Stat. 405), was signed into law July 6, 2012, and continued the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core program under title 23 United States Code section 148 to reduce fatalities and injuries on all public roadways. Title 23 United States Code section 148(h) requires each state to submit an annual report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regarding its HSIP implementation and effectiveness and title 23 Code of Federal Regulations sections 924.15(a)(1) and 924.15(a)(2) specify that the report be submitted no later than August 31 of each year. This annual report describes the progress being made to implement projects and the status of program evaluations for the HSIP as described in Title 23 United States Code section 148, and for High-Risk Rural Roads (HR3) (23 U.S.C. § 148(g)). The Railway-Highway Crossings (23 U.S.C. § 130(g)) report is submitted to FHWA directly by the California Public Utility Commission as a separate report. Under the “MAP-21” (Pub. L. 112-141, July 6, 2012; 126 Stat. 405), the High-Risk Rural Roads program was merged into the HSIP for safety improvements on public rural roadways that meet the functional classification requirements of title 23 United States Code section 148(a)(1). In addition to the above, in accordance with title 23 United States Code section 164 repeat intoxicated transfer funds, approximately $60.79 million was obligated for alcohol impaired driving countermeasures. Caltrans' Division of Safety Programs provided information on the State Highway System (SHS) for this report, and Caltrans' Division of Local Assistance (DLA) for local roads. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law on December 4, 2015 and continued the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) with only minor changes. The FAST Act confirmed 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.
