			Title 23 U.S.C. 148 establishes the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. To obligate funds under the HSIP, States are required to: (1) develop and implement a State Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP); (2) produce a program of projects or strategies; (3) evaluate the plan on a regular basis; and (4) submit annual reports. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Self Assessment Tool Guide describes an approach to self assessment that allows users to evaluate specific aspects of the HSIP process. The HSIP Self Assessment Tool consists of a number of questions designed to provide those with HSIP management responsibilities information to assess their programs, policies, and procedures against many of the recommended HSIP practices in use today.**17.
