In addition to the new provisions in 23 U.S.C. 148, the existing provisions of Title 23 U.S.C. Sections 130, Railway-Highway Crossings Program (See Attachment), and 152, Hazard Elimination Program (See Attachment), as well as the implementing regulations in 23 CFR 924, (See Attachment) remain in effect. Included in these combined provisions are requirements for State DOTs to annually produce and submit to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) the following reports related to the conduct and effectiveness of their HSIPs:

Short Statement:
Section 1401 of SAFETEA-LU amended Section 148 of Title 23 U.S.C. to establish a new core Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) that provides funds to State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to improve conditions at hazardous highway locations and hazardous railway-highway grade crossings on all public roads, including those maintained by Federal, State and local agencies. In addition to the new provisions in 23 U.S.C. 148, the existing provisions of Title 23 U.S.C. Sections 130, Railway-Highway Crossings Program,in 23 CFR 924, remain in effect. Included in these combined provisions are requirements for State DOTs to annually produce and submit to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) the following reports related to the conduct and effectiveness of their HSIPs: · Progress being made to implement the HSIP and the effectiveness of the projects implemented in reducing highway-related crashes, injuries and fatalities [HSIP Report--Sections 148(g) and 152(g)]; · Progress being made to implement the Railway-Highway Crossings Program and the effectiveness of these projects in that program [Sections 130(g) and 148(g)], which will be used by FHWA to produce and submit biennial reports to Congress required on April 1, beginning April 1, 2006; and · A description of at least 5 percent of the States highway locations exhibiting the most severe safety needs, including an estimate of the potential remedies, their costs, and impediments to their implementation other than cost for each of the locations listed [Section 148(c)(1)(D)]. This information from the 5 percent report is to be posted on a Department of Transportation website [Section 148(g)(3)(A)]. As part of the HSIP, Section 1401 of SAFETEA-LU established a High Risk Rural Roads Program (HRRRP), codified in 23 U.S.C. 148(f), for construction and operational improvements on roads that meet the definition of a high risk rural road [23 U.S.C 148(a)(1)]. Funds for this program are provided to the States as a setaside from the HSIP apportionment. Since it is a part of the HSIP, information on the HRRRP is being requested. The information collected supports the DOT Strategic Goal for Safety. The Highway Safety Improvement Program contributes directly to the FHWAs strategic objective to reduce the number of highway-related crashes and their consequences (fatalities and injuries) by providing funds to improve known and potentially hazardous locations. The information collected will help the FHWA to ensure that the States are carrying out their Highway Safety Improvement Programs and to monitor their effectiveness.
