                2013-2016 Comparison
Most states prepared their 2013 through 2016 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 2016 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 between 2015 and 2016, there were roughly 1000 more projects reported. However, the breakdown in project costs for various breakpoints was similar across years.

Table 2 shows the comparison from 2013 through 2016 of the number of projects and average total cost (does not include deobligated funds or where the value entered was $0 or null) of projects for various project types highlighted in this report. For most project types, the number and cost of projects has increased over the four year period.
