San Carlos Apache Tribe Partnership Meeting
April 21, 2015
Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP)
• Data-driven, statewide plan of strategies that provide a framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries
• Developed through a collaborative process with safety stakeholders
• Integrates the 4Es – Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Emergency services
• Considers the safety needs of all public roads
• Guides investment decisions
2
SHSP Coordination
• Aligned performance measures are developed through a collaborative process with FHWA, NHTSA, ADOT & GHSA
• ADOT Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
• GOHS Annual Highway Safety Plan (HSP)
• Federal Motor Carrier Services Association (FMCSA) Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP)
• Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC)

New in MAP-21
• State Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP) must have regular updates
• Non-infrastructure Projects
• Performance Measures & Reporting requirements
• Special Rules for High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) and Older Drivers & Pedestrians
• Railway-highway crossing program still set-aside
• Safe Routes to School (SRTS) no longer set-aside

Purpose of the HSIP
To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on tribal lands. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety that focuses on performance.

HSIP Project Selection Process
Step 1: Project Identification
Data Collection
Crash Data
Traffic Volumes
Roadway Inventory Data
RSAs
Network Screening Process
Identify key crash types and patterns to address
11
Step 2: Countermeasure Identification
Identify Effective Countermeasure
Step 3: Project Prioritization
Project Prioritization e.g. Benefit/Cost Ratio
Add project to MPO/COG TIP
Project must be on State STIP

Tribal Safety Plans
20
MAP-21 Section 1119
• Authorizes the establishment of the tribal safety program by setting aside 2% of the funds under the tribal transportation program for each fiscal year. Funds are allocated based on identification and analysis of highway safety issues on tribal lands.
• Approximately $9,000,000 total for United States
