Highway Safety Improvement Program. (HSIP) Federal regulations require the reporting of quantities on HSIP eligible items. Federal HSIP funded projects or HSIP funded work on a larger project must be approved by the Office of Traffic, Safety, and Technology (OTST). This work should be shown on plans with quantities and costs separated from other costs.
Highway Safety Improvement Program. (HSIP) The purpose of the HSIP is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. AHTD will maintain a documented process, approved by FHWA, for programming projects that conforms to 23 USC 148 and 23 CFR 924. This documented process will be updated by AHTD as needed. In addition, AHTD will provide project analysis/selection information to FHWA for review as requested at the time a Federal- aid Project Agreement for an HSIP funded project is submitted to FHWA or at the time the Preliminary STIP is presented to FHWA. Oversight of HSIP projects will be determined using the same criteria for other Federal-aid highway projects as described in Section 2 of this Agreement. AHTD will manage the overall HSIP in accordance with 23 USC 148 and 23 CFR 924. AHTD will prepare annual reports on the progress made and on the effectiveness of the HSIP. These reports are comprised of the HSIP report (which includes the High Risk Rural Roads report), the highway-railway crossing report, and the 5% report. All of these reports are to be submitted to FHWA on or before August 31st of each year. If requested by AHTD, FHWA will make a ruling annually regarding the 10% flex option in Section 148.
Highway Safety Improvement Program. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) has been raised to a core program in Section 1401 of SAFETEA-LU, necessitating a new level of activity. Planning, implementation, evaluation and reporting will be critical components to the success of the program. XxXXX will manage the overall HSIP with assistance from the FHWA Division. Quality improvement reviews will be conducted by the FHWA Division on regular basis as well. MnDOT Districts, MPOs and ATPs will select and develop safety projects as part of the annual transportation improvement program. Program and project priorities supported with HSIP funding will reflect priority elements identified within the SHSP. The State may request flexibility in the use of the funds, as allowed by SAFETEA-LU section 1401(a)(1)(e), through written request to the FHWA Division. The Division will review the request, and if the State meets the flexibility requirements, approve the flexibility provision, up to 10%, on an annual basis. The State will submit required reports to the FHWA Division on the effectiveness of the HSIP program, including the HSIP report and the requirements of the 5% report, annually, on or before August 31.
