Document Number: 2024-02831
Type: Proposed Rule

The purpose of this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) is to update the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) regulations to address provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (also known as the ``Bipartisan Infrastructure Law'' (BIL)) and reflect current priorities and state-of-practice.

The proposed changes would clarify provisions regarding the planning, implementation, evaluation, and reporting of HSIPs that are administered in each State. These changes would further strengthen and advance the safety and equity priorities of the DOT National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) and assist States with making safety gains designed to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on the Nation's roads.

Document Number: 2023-26019
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-12-07
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
This final rule amends FHWA's regulations governing national performance management measures and establishes a method for the measurement and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with transportation (GHG measure).
