STP SAFETY

STP Safety funds are for projects to reduce accidents at identified hazardous locations and for bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, including on-road facilities, public trails, and traffic calming activities, or for projects that improve motorist protection at railroad crossings. These funds are available for any state or local public road. The local or state match requirement is 7.34 percent.

Accident reduction projects at hazardous locations are identified from a systematic review of high accident locations produced from the statewide accident records system. All proposed local or state projects are prioritized statewide within available funding levels on a safety benefit to project cost ratio, which is heavily dependent on accident history and project cost data. Final project selection is by the Idaho Transportation Board.

Accident reduction projects at railroad/highway crossings are identified from a systematic review of hazardous crossing. All proposed local or state projects are prioritized statewide within available funding levels on a ranking formula, which considers vehicle traffic, train traffic, accident history, and other relevant crossing data. The Idaho Transportation Board makes the final project selection.
