The agency's first step is to contact the appropriate District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE) who can assist with the funding allocation process and other project management requirements. The DLAE contact information is available at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/other- important-issues/local-assistance-contacts.
To help in the success of your project, here are some important items to note:
1. State funds will be used for many HSIP Cycle 11 projects; the projects that fit into the High- Risk Rural Road (HR3) will be federalized to meet the FHWA's Special Rule for the High- Risk Rural Roads; the projects that implement mainly Pedestrian/Bike safety countermeasures may be federalized for satisfying the FHWA's Special Rule for Vulnerable Road Users (VRU).

2. The HSIP is a reimbursement program. Reimbursable work cannot commence on your project until you receive an allocation (for state funds) or an authorization for (federal funds) from Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA) for this project.
3. For state funded HSIP projects, please note:
a. the funding allocation process for HSIP projects with state HSIP Funding is different from projects in other programs such as ATP/STIP and SB1. The funding allocation for HSIP projects is processed through Caltrans DLA, not the CTC. b. The funding allocation request is Phase specific, i.e., Preliminary Engineering (PE), Right of Way (ROW) or Construction (CON).

4. For federally funded HSIP projects, please follow the project authorization process in Chapter 3 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).
5. The delivery of the HSIP Cycle 11 projects must meet the below milestones:

c. The project must be completed and closed out by 3/31/2028 (6 months may be added for projects with consultant for PE).
HSIP project delivery requests and status of the projects are available at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highway-safety- improvement-program/delivery-requirements-status-approved-projects.
