Grant Details

?The Signals and ITS Standalone Program (SISP) funds traffic signals and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) projects not incidental to other highway improvement projects.

The SISP funds are available for standalone projects with greater than 50% cost associated with traffic signal or ITS hardware and construction. All state (including Interstate) and connecting highways are eligible for program funds. Statewide or State maintained facility projects are eligible for full program funds.

Those projects required to be vetted through the Transportation Systems Management and Operations Traffic Infrastructure Process (TSMO-TIP) must be supported by the sponsoring WisDOT region prior to applying for funding within the SISP. The following project types are identified within the program application and defined as follows:

• New Signal Installation – Install new traffic signal.
• Signal Rehabilitation – Upgrade, install or replace existing signal detection, controllers, battery backup, etc.; construct minor geometric improvement.
• Signal Retrofit – Install monotubes, flashing yellow arrows, or other safety improvements at existing traffic signals; install adaptive signal systems.
• Signal Retiming – Collect and evaluate data; develop signal timing plan; develop and implement corridor coordination plan. 
• Intersection Communication – Construct and integrate fiber communication for signals; install and integrate wireless communication, including cellular modems and radios, for signals.
• New ITS Device Installation – Install new ITS infrastructure, including cameras, backbone fiber, network equipment, etc.
• ITS Device Rehabilitation – Upgrade, install or replace existing detection, controllers, battery backup, cameras, ramp meter LED's, etc.
• System Software – Upgrade, install, or replace software.
• Other – examples include:
  • Performance Measures Applications
  • Research and Development Projects
  • CAV Deployments and Applications
  • Studies, Plans, and Evaluations
