HELPERS Project

The Indiana LTAP HELPERS (Hazard Elimination Project for Existing Roads and Streets) is a project that assists local street, highway and/or engineering departments in Indiana in identifying their most hazardous locations, determining the types of crashes most likely to occur at those locations, and suggesting countermeasures to reduce the number and/or severity of those crashes. In many cases, this project also assists local agencies in requesting federal aid money to implement the suggested countermeasures. In other cases, the road safety audit review (RSAR) performed by LTAP provides the local public agency (LPA) with a list of countermeasures that may be implemented with local forces as time and funding permit.
