During this webinar, attendees hear from the FHWA on the origin of the funding, criteria for its use as well as innovative approaches to accessing HSIP dollars for bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that is focused on reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries – but can also be used on local roads. Bicycle and pedestrian projects – including non-infrastructure education and encouragement campaigns - are eligible for HSIP funding, but this funding source is infrequently accessed towards this end. During this webinar, attendees will hear from the FHWA on the origin of the funding, criteria for its use as well as innovative approaches to accessing HSIP dollars for bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs.
SPEAKERS:
- Jim Dahlem, Office of Safety, Federal Highway Administration
- Stephen Read, State Level Coordinator, Department of Transportation
- Dave Cowan, program manager, Safe Routes Partnership
