| Background/History: |
| The purpose of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads. This is to be accomplished through the development and implementation of the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) which is a statewide-coordinated safety plan that provides a comprehensive framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. SHSP is intended to identify the State’s key safety needs and guide HSIP investment decisions. Funding is from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through the Arizona Department of Transportation which is responsible for administering the HSIP in Arizona. |
| Key Considerations: |
| The 2014 HSIP funds required an approved JPA to be obligated by ADOT. Any funding not obligated by the City or County in the FMPO Region within this fiscal year is returned to ADOT. |
| Expanded Financial Considerations: |
The funding to-date is:
-
Original IGA FY2011 Design - $25,000
-
Amendment #1 FY2012 Design – $28,000
-
Amendment#2 FY2013 Design - $45,000
-
This IGA/JPA Amendment #3 for FY2014 HSIP will fund the Beulah Bike Lanes project in the amount of $175,000 (original estimate $150,000 plus additional $25,000) for final construction costs.
The Total Cost of the Beulah Bike Lanes is estimated to be $273,000 and is paid for from HSIP funds between FY 2011-2014.
