Locally Administered Safety Projects
• In 2009, VDOT stopped funding local safety projects
� Project Delivery concerns
• Locally Administered Safety Project Status:
� 74 active project representing $45M in safety funds
� 77% of active projects in construction
� All active projects scheduled for completion within 18 months
• VDOT plans to resume funding for locally administered safety projects in FY2017 and will implement new qualification criteria to ensure localities are prepared to deliver safety projects
Come TOMORROW to Hear more details!!!18

LAP HSIP Successful Projects
What We Know:
• Highway Safety Funding is very limited.
• Severe crashes are spread out across our roadway network
As a result, we must:
• Select projects based on data-driven approach
• Take advantage of low cost solutions that can be deployed at many locations (We call these SYSTEMIC projects)
For Example …
20
![Page 21: Highway Safety Program Update · 2015-06-11 · Highway Safety Program Update Urban Construction Initiative Annual Meeting May 20, ... • VDOT plans to resume funding for locally](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042301/5ecccbb59fe37d129f42be51/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example
Traditional Intersection Project
• Rebuild Intersection
� Move curb
� Add capacity
� Rebuild/replace signal
� Some R/W required
• Typical Cost: $2-4 Million• Typical Schedule: 2-4 years
• Typical crash reduction
� 10-15 crashes/year21
Systemic Intersection Project
• Deploy flashing yellow arrow at 25 intersections
• Approximate Cost: $500K
• Approx. Schedule: 1 year
• Expected crash Reduction
� 36% of all left turn angle collisions
� Approximately 90 crashes/year
