Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $381,900 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on November 5, 2025, under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), CFDA 20.272, to enhance traffic safety infrastructure across the Milpitas-Fremont corridor. The project encompasses improvements to 72 city-owned and maintained traffic signals, three unsignalized intersections, and a horizontal curve on North McCarthy Boulevard located 500 feet south of the city boundary. Deliverables include installation of retroreflective backplates on traffic signal equipment, implementation of Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI) to improve pedestrian crossing safety, enhanced visibility through signage and daylighting improvements, installation of safety beacons, and geometric improvements to the horizontal curve.

The project is scheduled for completion by August 19, 2029. These improvements align with HSIP's core objective of reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries through data-driven, strategic safety enhancements. The funding supports localized safety infrastructure improvements representative of typical HSIP awards, which range from intersection safety treatments to pedestrian protection measures. No sub-awards are indicated for this formula grant allocation.
