Highway safety improvement program - (HSIP); zero fatalities FY26; safety education/enforcement

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Utah Department of Transportation (Ucan) a Formula Grant of $3,068,856 under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP, CFDA 20.272) on November 13, 2025, with a completion deadline of March 31, 2030. This award funds safety education and enforcement initiatives in Utah County at mileposts 13.86–14.11 (Project FA-2040), supporting the state's Zero Fatalities FY26 safety objectives. The HSIP program is a data-driven, performance-focused initiative designed to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads through targeted safety improvements.

Under this award, Ucan will deliver highway safety improvements consistent with HSIP program parameters, which typically include intersection safety enhancements, geometric treatments, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, pavement treatments, roadway lighting, work zone safety training, and traffic safety media campaigns. As Utah's state transportation administrator, Ucan administers federal transportation funding and may distribute portions of this award to regional transit agencies, municipalities, and local planning organizations as subrecipients to execute localized safety projects aligned with the specified mileposts and safety education/enforcement objectives.
