Abstract:Summary Maryland Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) CY 2020. The purpose of the HSIP is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads. To obligate “core” safety funds MDOT SHA must have in effect an HSIP under which the State: 1) develops and implements a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) that identifies and analyzes highway safety problems and opportunities to reduce fatalities and serious injuries, 2) produces a program of projects or strategies to reduce identified safety problems, 3) evaluates the plan on a regular basis to ensure the accuracy of the data and priority of proposed improvements, 4) submits an annual report to the FHWA Division. The principal objective of Maryland's Fund 76 Safety and Spot Improvement Program is: on an annual basis, to identify those highway locations that contain safety deficiencies based on abnormal collision experience and, as quickly as possible, implement safety improvements to reduce or eliminate these deficiencies. HSIP Staff is located in the Planning, Engineering and Highway Safety Office portions of MDOT. HSIP is administered centrally via Statewide Competitive Application Process. Local roads were not allocated HSIP funds in CY 2020 yet but a new program was established in 2020 and local roads will be allocated HSIP fund starting from CY2021. The Maryland Highway Safety Office (MHSO) along with the Maryland Transportation Authority and the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services are important partners with the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) in the HSIP process. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and several regional planning organizations along with local governments, various police agencies and academic organizations also coordinate with the SHA.
