Pedestrians account for over 17.5 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes, and the majority of these deaths occur at uncontrolled crossing locations such as mid-block or un-signalized intersections. These are among the most common locations for pedestrian fatalities generally because of inadequate pedestrian crossing facilities and insufficient or inconvenient crossing opportunities, all of which create barriers to safe, convenient, and complete pedestrian networks.

Potential Federal Funding Available to Locals
Idaho is preparing to request Federal-aid Disaster Relief funding for the Federal-aid system. To qualify your damage or destroyed roadway must be on the Federal-aid System (FAS) and in a county where the Governor has declared a disaster. If you believe your roadway is eligible, please fill out the Highway Damage Estimate Form and send it back to Laila at LHTAC at LKral@lhtac.org. After the form is received, somebody from LHTAC will be contacting you to follow up regarding the cost of both temporary and permanent repairs.
If the damage is to roadways located off the FAS, please continue to work with your County’s Emergency Management Coordinator. They will be able to assist with the FEMA process, and with the additional funding available from the state.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
