WHAT IS THE STARS PROGRAM? Program to develop solutions to reduce crashes and congestion bottlenecks using a data-driven approach Crash hotspots Speed data AADT data Use this information together to identify corridors with safety and congestion challenges Overall goal of STARS is to develop solutions that can be programmed in the VDOT Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) 4
STARS BRIDGING THE GAP Planning linked to operations/its, safety and design Designers engaged early in the planning process Project risks identified Readiness improved for project implementation Estimates Schedules 5

WHAT CRITERIA IS USED? Safety PSI Rating - Intersection PSI Rating - Segment Historic Crash Pattern Operations District Coordination Planning Designations Potential for Safety Improvement HSM predictive methods Indication of high historical crash rate Top 100 intersections per district Top 100 miles of segments per district 7
WHAT CRITERIA IS USED? Safety PSI Rating - Intersection PSI Rating - Segment Historic Crash Pattern Operations V/C Ratio Travel Planning Buffer District Coordination Planning Designations Volume to Capacity (V/C) Ratio Statewide Planning System (SPS) Current year (2015) Forecast year (2030) 8
WHAT CRITERIA IS USED? Safety PSI Rating - Intersection PSI Rating - Segment Historic Crash Pattern Operations V/C Ratio Travel Planning Buffer District Coordination Planning Designations Travel (TTI) INRIX Travel time / travel time at FFS Used to calculate duration of congestion Peak Hour Expansion Factor 9
WHAT CRITERIA IS USED? Safety PSI Rating - Intersection PSI Rating - Segment Historic Crash Pattern Operations V/C Ratio Travel Planning Buffer District Coordination Corridor Already Studied Economic Development Impact Funding Identified District and Local Support Planning Designations 10

IDENTIFY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS PSI Segments and Intersections Proposed Corridor Proposed corridor contains the 1 st, 3 rd, 6 th, 7 th, and 12 th highest ranking segments for PSI within the district 12
IDENTIFY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS V/C Ratio Forecasted 2030 V/C Ratio = 1.04 13
IDENTIFY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS Travel (Percentiles) PM Peak Period (4 PM 6PM) District Percentile = 99.2% 14
