Abstract:The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 annual report submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) describes the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) strategic use of Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act funding of the Commonwealth's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for the period July 2020 to June 2021. The FAST Act continued the HSIP as a core program under Sections 148 and 130 of US Code Title 23. Under Section 154, the Surface Transportation Program and the National Highway Performance Program funds are transferred to be used for HSIP eligible proposals because Virginia does not have all the required components in its Open Container legislation. As a result, VDOT's HSIP is composed of the following sub-programs which use the above mentioned federal funding sources (23 USC Sections): A) Highway Safety Projects (HSP): Section 148 B) Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Projects (BPSP): Section 148 C) Penalty Transfer-Open Container (OC) Projects: Section 154 D) High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR): Section 148 Note: Per US Code Title 23 Section 148 (g) Special Rules (1) High-Risk Rural Road Safety, if the fatality rate on rural roads in a State increases over the most recent 2-year period for which data are available, that State shall be required to obligate in the next fiscal year for projects on high risk rural roads (HRRR). Over the most recent two-year period, Virginia was identified as having experienced an increase in its fatality rate on rural roads, and therefore, the Commonwealth obligated $4,935,946 toward HRRR safety projects.
