Abstract:Improving highway safety has long been a national goal, articulated through all major federal highway legislation. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federal program designed to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The primary goal of the HSIP is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-state owned roads and tribal roads. It requires a data-driven and strategic approach to improving highway safety on all public roads that focuses on performance. The HSIP is a core federal-aid program under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act that went into effect in December, 2015. The FAST Act, which replaced the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), largely maintained the program structure of the HSIP with slight increases in funding and a change that disallows HSIP funds to be transferred to and used for educational and enforcement type activities. The HSIP funds are primarily intended for infrastructure improvement projects. Non-infrastructure highway safety improvements such as education and enforcement programs are administered by the ODOT Transportation Safety Office (TSO), and are typically funded through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), or state funds. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) administers the federally-funded Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to implement safety projects. ODOT developed the All Roads Transportation Safety (ARTS) Program to achieve the goals of the HSIP using a data-driven, jurisdictionally-blind process. The majority of the funding for the ARTS Program comes from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The ARTS Program is a statewide application based competitive process. Projects are ranked or prioritized based on an ODOT-approved prioritization method such as Benefit-Cost Ratio. Through the ARTS program, projects on all public roads in Oregon, regardless of roadway ownership, compete for HSIP funding.
