To date, bicycle and pedestrian projects have not received a fair share of HSIP funds — but a new report from Advocacy Advance provides insight into the program, pointers on how to access funds and case studies of advocates’ success in winning those dollars. Getting a Fair Share for Safety from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP): Bicycle and Pedestrian Advocacy Case Studies examines the states that have successfully dedicated federal safety funds to reduce bicycle and pedestrian fatalities and crashes. “In a number of cases, advocates have taken a leading role in ensuring the transportation agency prioritized road safety projects for non‐motorists,” Darren Flusche, the report’s author, writes on the League of American Bicyclists’ blog. “These case studies can help advocates and officials in other states access this untapped resource for badly needed bicycle and pedestrian safety projects.” Download the full report form the Advocacy Advance website.
