Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
Description: New safety infrastructure program built around a data-driven statewide safety plan It requires:• Crash data systems for problem
identification & countermeasure analysis• Improved traffic records, data collection &
analysis • Consideration of 4 “E”s of safety on all
public roads & consultation with stakeholders

HSIP - ContinuedStatus:
Included in Senate bill House bill makes few changes in current safety infrastructure programs & requires no statewide safety plan Senate provides $8.2B over 6 years House provides $3.9B over 6 years
![Page 7: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HSIP - ContinuedOutstanding Issues:
Funding Statewide Highway Safety Plan• Will final agreement require or encourage
States to develop safety plans?• How will States obtain comprehensive safety
data on roads, drivers, vehicles & EMS?• Will States have sufficient safety data on
local highway safety needs?

HSIP Reporting Requirements - Continued
Senate requires annual State reports to:• Describe 5% of locations in each State
with most severe safety needs• Assess potential remedies, costs &
impediments• Assess effectiveness of projects in
reducing fatalities, injuries & severity of crashes
• Be posted on the DOT website

High Risk Rural Road Safety Improvement Program
Description: To improve safety on rural collector and local roads For construction & operational improvementsStates must fund projects with greatest highway safety benefits
![Page 17: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
High Risk Roads - ContinuedStatus: Included only in House billOutstanding Issues:
Funding: House - $675M over 6 yearsLack of data on rural roads limits ability to target funds to States with greatest needsMany States lack the data on rural & local roads to identify projects with highest benefits
![Page 18: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Status of ReauthorizationCongress extended highway, transit & safety programs to September 24 with no changes in funding or policy White House agreed to $299B overall spending for 6-year reauthorization bill this year – House & Senate staff will work on detailed conference agreement
![Page 19: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Likely Outcomes?Dedicated funds are likely for state data improvement grants. Funding levels are not yet clear More reporting requirements are likely for safety programs & initiatives - HSIP, Safe Routes to School, High Risk Rural Roads etc.
![Page 20: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Likely Outcomes? - ContinuedState DOTS will need to work with data managers & collectors to fulfill reporting requirements & possibly to develop statewide safety plansState & metropolitan planners will need safety data to integrate safety into planning process
![Page 21: Safety Data Initiatives in Reauthorization What Can We Expect? Kathy Krause, FHWA Office of Safety 30 th Annual International Traffic Records Forum July](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070610/5a4d1ba57f8b9ab0599c8efc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Likely Outcomes? - ContinuedState DOTs & planners will be encouraged to participate in traffic records coordinating committeesData managers & collectors are likely to have increased opportunities to develop new partners among key customers & users of safety data within States
