• Abstract:
  Some road users—such as pedestrians and bicyclists—are more susceptible to kinetic force because they lack the protection of a vehicle. HSIP can help support a Safe System and keep all public road users safe by funding improvements that enhance safety, visibility, and accessibility for vulnerable road users (VRUs), whether they travel by foot, bicycle, scooter, skateboard, or mobility aid. The Vulnerable Road User Safety Special Rule is designed to help States with a certain percentage of VRU fatalities to spend safety funds on projects that improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorists. The special rule requires States whose total VRU fatalities represent 15 percent or more of the State’s total annual crash fatalities to obligate at least 15 percent of the State’s HSIP apportionment for the following fiscal year for highway safety improvement projects to address VRU safety.
