Summary

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP): This federal transportation program is structured and funded to identify and improve locations where there is a high concentration, or risk, of vehicle crashes that result in deaths or injuries. To attain Virginia's vision Towards Zero Deaths, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) adopted HSIP to identify intersections or highway segments with above-average total and injury crashes for existing traffic, analysis of crash trends and existing conditions, and economic and/or risk evaluation of proposed safety project benefits.

VDOT's HSIP consists of the following programs:

Highway Safety Program- Identifies and improves locations where there is a high concentration, or risk, of vehicle crashes that result in deaths or injuries and to implement strategies to attain Virginia's Towards Zero Deaths vision
Systematic Safety Improvement- Addresses crash types that are not identified through crash frequency, a systemic approach targets/identify locations where risk is greatest regardless of crashes.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program- Reduces risk from exposure to motorized vehicles by reducing the speed of motor vehicle traffic where pedestrians and bicyclists also travel, and by ensuring appropriate pedestrian and bicycle safety infrastructure is included on the highway network where pedestrians and cyclists travel.
Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety Programs- Provides funding for the elimination of hazards at public railway-highway crossings in Virginia.

History of Funding

None is available.
