2. Complete a one page project description explaining need, location, type of counter measure, calculated match amount and other pertinent information to your project. If installation of signs is part of your safety project application, include in the project description the post type and/or mounting requirements used in your jurisdiction. Be sure to indicate if there are additional stakeholders (BLM, Forrest Service, Tribal, etc.) and if they have already been contacted.
3. Complete ITD 2435 Form, ITD 1150 Form, and ITD 1983 Form (if applicable) for your proposed project.
4. Include a one page vicinity map showing project location(s) with roadway names and cross streets clearly shown.
5. Funded projects are for the Fiscal Year 2019. The projects are federally funded and may require a 7.34%local match. Please include the estimated match amount in your one page project description.
6. Minimal right-of-way acquisition is now an eligible item for LHSIP funding. To be eligible, right-of way acquired must be directly related to the Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) indicated on the application. If the project does not require right-of way please submit the ITD 1983 form with the application. If right-of way acquisition is anticipated then omit the ITD 1983 form.
7. LHSIP funds can be used for design and/or construction. To assist in managing the LHSIP program, LHTAC may place the project development and construction of awarded projects in different Fiscal Years. Applicant will be made aware of any proposed changes prior to them being executed. All projects must meet Federal and State standards, signal warrants and ADA requirements.
1. To be eligible, for projects must include a Fatal or Serious Injury (Type A) crash. Applications without a Fatal or Serious Injury (Type A) crash will be removed from consideration.
2. Typically, you cannot apply to improve an intersection or location if that location has previously been awarded LHSIP funds. Some exceptions may be made. If you think you may be eligible for additional funding, contact LHTAC to discuss prior to submitting an application.
3. If applying for a signal, a current warrant analysis must have been completed, and warrants must be met. A copy of the warrant analysis is required with the application submittal.
4. If applying for a project at the intersection of a state road, the LHJ must have contacted ITD and ITD must agree to pay their appropriate share. Provide a letter of support from the ITD District with your application.
5. Applications for project with wetland impacts will be reviewed and considered. Anticipated project impacts are to be clearly defined on the application and have a direct correlation to the safety improvement for which you applied. Wetland impacts must be less than 1/10 acre or the project will not be considered for LHSIP funding.
