For crashes there were 58% State and 42% Local based on Crash Analysis Reporting (CAR)

6 What is a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)?

7 Is the SHSP A data driven plan to drive down fatalities? YES A road map to achieve zero fatalities? YES A comprehensive approach to reduce deaths and serious injuries? YES A plan that addresses engineering, enforcement, education and emergency response for all roads? YES All of the above? YES 7

8 Background Completed first SHSP in 2006 Focused where opportunities to reduce deaths and serious injuries was greatest Planning process Six months Two statewide summits Web based survey Executive Committee and Implementation Team meetings Emphasis Area Teams 8

9 2006 SHSP Emphasis Areas Aggressive Driving Intersection Crashes Vulnerable Road Users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists Lane Departure Crashes 9
