Abstract:

In 2019, approximately 24 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States occurred on local and Tribal roadways. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) aims to significantly reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned roads. Non-State-owned roads are a vital component of a safe transportation system, and HSIP funds can support improvements to these local and tribal road networks. Making HSIP funds available for highway safety improvement projects on city, township, county, and Tribal roadways helps save lives. Because safety issues on a non-State-owned road network may be spread over a larger area, systemic safety improvements are a particularly effective approach. The data-driven and strategic decision-making process for HSIP funding can help local and Tribal jurisdictions better identify and solve safety problems on their road networks. Some jurisdictions may need additional support to navigate application requirements and access data sources.
