SCDOT Requests Public Comment on the 2024-2033 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program to include the statewide federal 2024 Highway Safety Improvement Program

​Columbia, S.C.(September 19, 2024) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation seeks public comment on the action to amend the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program to include the federal 2024 Highway Safety Improvement Program for 32 intersection improvements in 18 counties. SCDOT will receive public comment for a 21-day period from September 19, 2024 through October 10, 2024.

​Thirty-two intersections have been selected for improvement through the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). This program uses a data-driven strategic approach to identify locations throughout the state with high crash rates, or patterns, and implements safety enhancements through infrastructure-related improvements.

The HSIP intersection improvement process includes an engineering study that will be performed at each location to include an analysis of the crash data, an assessment of field conditions, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of all potential countermeasures to ensure maximum safety benefits are obtained for funds invested.
