Under the program, DOT must 1) assist political subdivisions in improving safety at signalized and stop-sign-controlled intersections and 2) upon application by political subdivisions, make improvements or provide reimbursements or grants for improvements to signalized and stop-sign-controlled intersections on highways under the jurisdiction of the political subdivisions that are identified by the political subdivisions as having excessively high intersection crash rates. The bill also requires DOT to identify counties with the highest intersection crash rates to assist in prioritizing the improvements selected for completion under the program. The bill provides $6,000,000 for the program.
