Highway Safety Improvement Program

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) established the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The HSIP emphasizes a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety that focuses on results.

Under the enabling transportation legislation enacted in November 2021, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), New Jersey receives approximately $85 million annually for safety improvements.
