Purpose of Hazard Elimination Program
1 �JU:,c9
The "Hazard Elimination Program" (HEP) is a federally funded rogram that ,
mandates that each state identify hazardous locations on all pub s; j
assign priorities for the necessary corrections at these locations, and establish
a schedule of improvement projects. Section 152 of Chapter 23 of the United
States Code outlines how federal dollars will be spent toward improving safety
on public roads. The mission of HEP is "to carry out safety improvement
projects to reduce the risk, number, and/or severity of accidents at highway
locations, sections, and elements on any public road."
Oregon has based responsibility for HEP project solicitation, cost/benefit
analysis, and project ranking with the Department of Transportation (ODOT)
Traffic Management Section. ODOT's Financial Services Branch Funds and
Grants Management Unit is responsible for management of HEP funds.
This guidebook gives details of the program and how to access these funds.
