Statewide - develop, implement and evaluate a new strategic highway safety plan (SHSP).

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $1,370,292.27 on May 15, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The award supports the development, implementation, and evaluation of Connecticut's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) for the 2027-2031 period, with project completion scheduled for May 31, 2030. This statewide initiative involves comprehensive planning and coordination activities to advance highway safety objectives across Connecticut's transportation network.

Under this award, CTDOT will develop and execute a multi-year strategic framework addressing highway safety priorities, implement evidence-based safety programs and countermeasures, and conduct ongoing evaluation activities to measure plan effectiveness and inform future improvements. The SHSP serves as Connecticut's primary tool for coordinating highway safety efforts across state agencies, local governments, and partner organizations, aligning with federal highway safety requirements and best practices established under the Federal-aid Highway Program.
