Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) went into effect on October 1, 2012. It continued the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core Federal-aid program. The goal of the program is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on tribal lands. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety on all public roads that focuses on performance.
The specific provisions pertaining to the HSIP are defined in Section 1112 of MAP-21, which amended Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code (23 USC 148). Some of the changes to the HSIP include:
- The Strategic Highway Safety Plans are now required to be updated and evaluated regularly by each State.
- The $90 million High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) set-aside has been eliminated but a new HRRR Special Rule will require States to obligate funds on HRRRs if the fatality rate is increasing on rural roads.
- The Transparency Reports (5 percent) are no longer required.
- The annual reports from the States will be posted on FHWA's website.
- FHWA is required to establish measures for the States to use in assessing the number and rate of fatalities and serious injuries.
