Most states prepared their 2013 and 2014 HSIP reports in accordance with the MAP-21 HSIP Reporting Guidance; therefore FHWA can make a direct comparison of information related to the 2013 and 2014 highway safety improvement projects. As can be seen in Table 1 below, the total number of projects and cost of projects did not change much from 2013 to 2014. The breakdown in project costs for various breakpoints was also similar.
Table 1. Total number of projects and project cost breakdown, 2013-2014
| Year | 2013 | Percentage | 2014 | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of projects | 3292 | 3266 | ||
| Num. of projects (with cost info.)* | 3253 | 3257 | ||
| Cost of projects | $3.09B | $2.99B | ||
| Average cost per project | $950,840 | $921,072 | ||
| Number of projects < $100K | 1176 | 37% | 1018 | 31% |
| Number of projects $100K – $499K | 985 | 31% | 1037 | 32% |
| Number of projects $500K-$1M | 401 | 13% | 443 | 14% |
| Number of projects $1M+ | 631 | 20% | 731 | 23% |
Table 2 shows the comparison between 2013 and 2014 of the number of projects and average total cost of projects for various project types highlighted in this report. Overall, number and cost of projects has remained roughly the same.
