Safety-related funding to reduce fatalities and injuries
The Highway Safety Improvement Program provides critical safety funding to reduce the rate of fatalities and serious injury on public roads.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program provides states with critical safety funding to save lives and prevent serious injuries on all public roads. The Highway Safety Improvement Program is based on a performance-driven process that identifies and analyzes highway safety problems and advances highway safety improvement projects with the greatest potential to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.
States are also allowed to use up to 10% of their HSIP funding for specified safety projects including projects that:
promote public awareness and inform the public regarding highway safety matters
facilitates enforcement of traffic safety laws
provides infrastructure and infrastructure-related equipment to support emergency services
conducts safety-related research to evaluate experimental safety countermeasures or equipment
supports safe routes to school non-infrastructure-related activities
