                2013-2015 Comparison
Most states prepared their 2013 through 2015 HSIP reports in accordance with the MAP-21 HSIP Reporting Guidance; therefore FHWA can make a direct comparison of information related to the 2013 through 2015 highway safety improvement projects. As can be seen in Table 3 below, the total number of projects and cost of projects did not change much from 2013 to 2014 but in 2015, there were roughly 900 more projects reported. However, the breakdown in project costs for various breakpoints was similar across years.
