Intersection and Corridor Safety Program
(Federal Funds)
In spring 2005 WSDOT developed the Intersection and Corridor Safety program to fund safety projects that eliminate or reduce fatal or injury accidents at high accident intersections and within high accident corridors. WSDOT estimated approximately $20 million to be available for this program. In October 2005, projects were submitted and prioritized.
After the Federal Transportation Act (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law and following the 2006 legislative session, the Governor approved 25 projects totaling approximately $10 million of federal safety funds. A link to the prioritized list of Intersection and Corridor Safety projects is attached.
WSDOT is in the process of developing the Statewide Highway Safety Improvement Plan (HSIP) for the Governor’s approval. A draft plan will be available by mid-May 2006 for public comment at www.wsdot.wa.gov.
