FY2025 highway safety improvement program (OTHER)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Delaware Department of Transportation $800,000.00 on May 16, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support Delaware's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). This formula grant funds the network screening and analysis components essential to identifying and prioritizing highway safety improvements across the state. Deliverables include crash data analysis, site evaluations, safety improvement recommendations, and comprehensive plan development to support infrastructure enhancements.

The award specifically supports planning and development activities for the FY2025 program cycle, including identification of candidate Highway Enhancement Program (HEP) sites, preparation of required HEP Task I and II reports, preparation of the annual HSIP report to FHWA, and cost estimation for recommended safety improvements. These products enable Delaware to fulfill its federal reporting obligations while providing the analytical foundation for data-driven highway safety investments across the state's transportation network. As a state-administered program under the Federal-aid Highway Program, the award supports Delaware DOT's statutory responsibilities to identify, evaluate, and plan highway safety projects within the state.
