Abstract:In July 2017, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) updated its Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) with the ultimate goal of reaching zero fatalities and serious injuries on all Illinois roads by the year 2034. One of the strategies mentioned in the plan, was the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). HSIP in Illinois is a data-driven program whose purpose is to provide funding for proven countermeasures to reduce fatalities and serious injury crashes on Illinois roadways. IDOT’s Bureau of Safety Programs and Engineering (BSPE) oversees the program and HSIP Committee while working with other safety partners such as the FHWA, IDOT’s Bureau of Operations, IDOT’s Bureau of Local Roads, IDOT districts, and local agencies and MPOs. Currently, IDOT districts may apply for HSIP funds year-round, while local agencies and MPOs may apply for projects only once a year. The HSIP Committee approves projects based on several factors such as historical crash data, appropriately chosen countermeasures based on the crash history, and the benefit/cost value. In recent years, the HSIP Committee has been trying to encourage IDOT districts and local agencies to consider alternative strategies as suggested by the FHWA such as innovative intersections or utilizing systemic approaches.
