On July 6, 2012, the President signed into law the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) (P.L. 112- 141), which created a Special Rule for Older Drivers and Pedestrians. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (P.L. 114-94) continued that Special Rule. The purpose of this guidance is to clarify:

The circumstances in which the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Special Rule applies to States
Which information States should report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
How States should implement the Special Rule

This guidance supersedes guidance FHWA issued on February 13, 2013, related to the Older Drivers and Pedestrians Special Rule under MAP-21.
