Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Sample Clauses

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The purpose of the HSIP shall be to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads. To obligate “core” safety funds GDOT must have in effect an HSIP under which the State: 1)develops and implements a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) that identifies and analyzes highway safety problems and opportunities to reduce fatalities and serious injuries, 2) produces a program of projects or strategies to reduce identified safety problems, 3) evaluates the plan on a regular basis to ensure the accuracy of the data and priority of proposed improvements, 4) submits an annual report to the FHWA Division. In accordance with 23 USC 148, the SHSP means a plan developed by GDOT that: • analyzes and make effective use of state, regional or local crash data • addresses engineering, management, operation, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services in evaluating highway projects • considers safety needs, and high fatality segments of public roads in the State • considers results of State, regional or local transportation and highway safety planning processes • describes a program of projects or strategies to reduce or eliminate hazards • is approved by the Governor or responsible State agency • is consistent with the requirements of the Statewide planning process, sec. 135(g) As part of the SHSP, the State shall: • have in place a crash data system with the ability to perform safety problem identification and countermeasure analysis • identify hazardous locations sections or elements that constitute a danger to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians • establish the relative severity of these locations • adopt strategic and performance-based goals • advance the capabilities of the State for traffic records data collection, analysis, and integration • determine priorities for the correction of hazardous road locations, sections, and elements as identified through crash data analysis • establish an evaluation process to assess results achieved by improvement projects As a condition for obligating HSIP funds, under Section 148(c) (I) (D), GDOT will prepare an annual report, in addition to the HSIP and rail-highway crossing safety report, which describes not less than 5 percent of their public road locations exhibiting the most severe safety needs. The legislation requires that the 5 percent reports include an assessment of potential remedies at the locations identified, the estimated costs of the remedies, and impediments ...

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The Highway Safety Improvement program is established as a core program, separately funded for the first time under SAFETE-LU, with flexibility provided to allow States to target funds to their most critical safety needs. Funds are set aside in the HSIP for the Railway-Highway Crossing program, and for construction and operational improvements on high-risk rural roads. LADOTD performs HSIP components of Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation to accomplish requirements of the program. These components involve: identification of high-crash locations, developing and implementing an annual program of projects to improve safety at these locations, and an annual report to FHWA on progress and effectiveness. FHWA is involved in all three components, both formally and through informal technical assistance. As part of the HSIP, States are required to submit an annual report describing not less than 5 percent of their highway locations exhibiting the most severe safety needs [Section 148(c)(1)(D)]; their most hazardous locations, progress in implementing highway safety improvement projects, and their effectiveness in reducing fatalities and injuries. The intent of this provision is to raise the public awareness of the highway safety needs and to challenge each State. The "5 percent reports" will then be made available to the public via posting on the USDOT web site as required by Section l48(g)(3). The Division Offices will forward the reports to the FHWA Headquarters Office of Safety (HSA) no later than September 30 each year for subsequent inclusion on a USDOT web site. The submitted reports should be compatible with USDOT web site requirements. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the publishing language of the World Wide Web. Information submitted in the form of HTML files (i.e. Web pages) need to be coded to meet the industry standards for HTML and the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. State Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP) - SHSPs will be used in the Highway Safety Improvement Program to identify and analyze highway safety problems and opportunities, include projects or strategies to address them, and evaluate the accuracy of data and the priority of proposed improvements. The SHSP must be based on accurate and timely safety data, consultation with safety stakeholders, and performance-based goals that address infrastructure and behavioral safety problems on all public roads. States are also required to develop an evaluation process t...

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The HSIP is a core Federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. States shall fund safety projects or activities that are most likely to achieve fatality and serious injury performance targets. The program and policy language for implementing the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is codified as 23 USC 148, with related policies in 23 CFR 924. Specific provisions related to the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) are also provided under section 1112 of MAP-21. Each State is required to develop, implement, and evaluate on an annual basis a comprehensive HSIP that has the objective of significantly reducing fatalities and serious injuries resulting from crashes on all public roads. Further guidance on implementing the HSIP is given through various FHWA HSIP program guidance documents. NHDOT has the responsibility for carrying out the State's HSIP. FHWA exercises its oversight responsibilities through review of the annual program of projects, review of program processes, and review of annual reports, as well as through various approval and acceptance actions in accordance with 23 USC 148, 23 CFR 924 and other guidance as released by FHWA. NHDOT 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 NHDOT as needed. All changes to this process will be approved by FHWA. The NHDOT will establish and maintain a multi-disciplined HSIP Steering Committee that includes local representation for the purpose of establishing program guidance and HSIP project selection and prioritization criteria; FHWA will have representation on that committee. The Committee will meet regularly throughout the year and as needed to address issues. The NHDOT, in cooperation and consultation with FHWA, will establish and maintain an HSIP Guidance document that aligns with Federal regulation and guidance on administering a State HSIP program. The Guidance will include the methodology for establishing HSIP project selection, reevaluation of projects throughout development, and project prioritization. The Guidance will also include the tracking of goals and established measures. This guidance document will be used by the NHDOT and HSIP Committee in administering the HSIP program of projects. In addition, NHDOT will provide project analysis/selection information to FHWA for review at the t...
