Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP-Local) | Department of Transportation Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP-Local) Traffic Safety and Engineering FY 2028 HSIP-Local Program Applications for FY 2028 Highway Safety Improvement Program – Local projects are being accepted through November 15, 2026.
The HSIP-Local program provides Federal-aid Swap (State) funds to Counties and Cities for low-cost to medium-cost systemic safety improvements. The program has the goal of reducing fatalities and serious injury crashes. HSIP-Local program funding is $5 million/year for FY2023-2028.
The systemic approach installs low-cost to medium-cost countermeasures along a corridor or at multiple intersections with similar characteristics and risk rather than treating a single location based on demonstrated crash history ( see TSIP projects ). Systemic projects may include a continuous corridor, multiple locations, or include neighboring or multiple counties/jurisdictions.
Common projects have included sign and post reflectivity, upgraded pavement markings, centerline and shoulder/edge line rumble strips, paved shoulders and guardrail. With the expansion of HSIP-Secondary to cities as HSIP-Local, this program is also a good candidate for roadway reconfiguration projects (e.g. 4- to-3-lane conversions ) and pedestrian-crossing improvements.
Additional examples and typical crash-reduction factors (CRFs) are included on the application form. HSIP-Local program funds are available to City and County applicants. Multiple location/joint Local Public Agencies (LPA) projects are acceptable, as is cooperation with LPA and RPA or MPO.
HSIP-Local project costs are sometimes a division of a larger LPA project. See Iowa DOT Local Safety Funding Program Comparison Table. (72.
