Progress in Achieving Safety Outcomes and Performance Targets

States should describe the progress made toward achieving safety outcomes and performance targets. This includes an overview of general highway safety trends, documentation of safety performance targets, and the application of special rules.

General Highway Safety Trends

States must present and describe information showing the annual highway safety trends in the State for at least the last 5 years for the following performance measures:

Progress in Implementing Highway Safety Improvement Projects

States should describe their progress in implementing HSIP projects during the specified reporting period. This description should include a comparison of the HSIP funds programmed and obligated for highway safety improvement projects, as well as the number and general listing of projects initiated.

Program Structure

The report should briefly describe the structure of the State's HSIP. At a minimum, this description should include how HSIP funds are administered in the State and a summary of the methodology used to develop the programs and projects implemented through the HSIP on all public roads.

Program Administration

The report should briefly describe the general structure of the HSIP in the State, including information such as:

Content and Structure of the HSIP Report

All States shall use the FHWA online reporting tool to support the annual HSIP reporting process [23 CFR 924.15(a)]. Additional information is available on the FHWA Web site at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/safety/legislative-safety-programs/hsip/hsip-online-reporting-tool. An HSIP report template is available (published separately), which is identical to the online reporting tool content. The HSIP Online Reporting Tool meets all report requirements and USDOT Web site compatibility requirements.

Reporting Frequency and Schedule

Pursuant to 23 CFR 924.15, a State shall submit its HSIP report to the FHWA Division Administrator no later than August 31st of each year. This date coincides with the railway-highway crossing report required under 23 U.S.C. 130(g). The Division Administrator will review the report to ensure consistency with the HSIP reporting requirements and current state of the practice. Divisions should use the HSIP report checklist (published separately) to assist in their review of the State's HSIP report.

Purpose

This document provides guidance to help States meet the HSIP reporting requirements under 23 U.S.C. 148(h) and 23 CFR 924.15. All States must submit these reports through the HSIP online reporting tool [23 CFR 924.15(a)]. While 23 U.S.C. 148(h)(1)(C)(iii) requires States to address railway-highway crossings, States should collect and include this information in the report required under 23 U.S.C.

Background

The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. No. 114-94) continued the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core Federal-aid program with the purpose of reducing fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. HSIP is authorized under section 148 of title 23, United States Code, with implementing regulations at 23 CFR part 924.
