BACKGROUND: On May 6, 2024, Caltrans announced the HSIP Cycle 12 Call-for- Projects. The HSIP program funds local highway safety improvement projects based on a competitive grant process. The City has decided to seek HSIP Cycle 12 grant funding for two (2) projects. The projects are listed below: 1. Fiber Extension Project: This project will provide fiber communications and timing improvements to traffic signals on multiple corridors including Margarita Road, Date Street, Meadows Parkway, Nicolas Road, and Deer Hollow Way. The traffic signals along these corridors will receive equipment upgrades to facilitate fiber communication upgrades. The total project cost is estimated to be $1,105,700 and the City of Temecula will provide a 50% match of the total cost. 2. Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements- This project will provide ADA compliant pedestrian ramp enhancements adjacent to several school sites within the City. The total project cost is estimated to be $350,000 and the City of Temecula will provide a 10% match of the total cost. Grant applications were submitted on September 9, 2024 with grant project selections anticipated in early 2025.

BACKGROUND: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program is administered through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. On May 6, 2024, the City submitted a grant to fund the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. On September 9, 2024, the City received confirmation of award for the grant. The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will build off the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) that the City completed in 2022. The LRSP will be updated to comply with Federal requirements for Safety Action Plan documents which will help the City when applying for future Federal Grants. The City is being awarded $120,000 in Federal funds with a $30,000 City match.
