      ×

**When using the database, keep in mind:**

The database is populated with information from publicly available SHSPs. SHSPs are required to be posted by the U.S. DOT and are available on FHWA's Office of Safety website.
	There is a short interval between when SHSP updates are available and the time those data appear in the database.
	Some data are subjective and based on interpretation of SHSP content. For example, emphasis area strategies are organized by categories established by the developers of the database to make is easier for users to compare data across States. If you believe that some data are not presented accurately, please contact us.
	The term “State” includes the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
	The U.S. Government does not endorse products or manufacturers. Trademarks or manufacturer's names may be mentioned only because they are considered essential to the objective of the document and are meant for information exchange only.If you have any questions or comments about the database, contact Danielle Betkey, FHWA Office of Safety, 202-366-9417.

The **Strategic Highway Safety Plan (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.
