                SHSP Resources
    

    
    
          **SHSP Database** Contains key data from 52 SHSPs about the data-driven approaches states are using to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The database includes information about emphasis area strategies and action plans; 4E safety partners; approaches states are using to update, implement, and evaluate plans; and much more
	**Emergency Medical Services (EMS)** Highway safety professionals have long utilized engineering, education, and enforcement approaches. But the 4th E – EMS – is less familiar and less often engaged in the SHSP process and in funding projects under the Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) program. Why is EMS important to highway safety, why engage EMS, and how do EMS projects get funding?
	**SHSP Peer Exchange Reports** Technical assistance delivered through workshops and peer exchanges generally results in an event report. These reports provide roadway safety practitioners with easy-to-access technical assistance on safety challenges encountered by many of their fellow agencies.State SHSPs
