At the August 18, 2022 BPAC meeting, Julieth Ortiz, OakDOT Transportation Planner, shared an overview of the crash data-driven HSIP grant program and the current proposals to request funds to implement HSIP-eligible countermeasures that focus on intersection safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. The applications are due September 12th. Following the overview of the grant program, Dean Hsiao, OakDOT Supervising Transportation Engineer, shared an overview of pedestrian signals and leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs).
OakDOT has received $27 million in HSIP funding to-date.

HSIP Cycle 11 Applications
- Safe Oakland Streets Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) Timing
- Add a 3 second head start for pedestrians and accessible pedestrian signals at existing signalized intersections:
- With LPI-compatible signal controllers
- With signal controllers to be upgraded to LPI-compatible
- Locations will be chosen based on HSIP criteria (benefit-cost ratio) in addition to OakDOT’s equity priority neighborhoods
- Add a 3 second head start for pedestrians and accessible pedestrian signals at existing signalized intersections:
- Safe Oakland Streets Major Bike and Pedestrian Crossings
- Add rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) to uncontrolled intersections where neighborhood bike routes cross Collector and Arterial Streets
- Locations will be chosen based on HSIP criteria (benefit-cost ratio) in addition to OakDOT’s equity priority neighborhoods and nexus with 5-year paving plan
