Executive Summary

Kentucky’s HSIP funds are administered from the Division of Traffic Operations in 

KYTC’s Central Office. Each Highway District has an HSIP Coordinator that works 

closely with Central Office and District Personnel to conduct a Road Safety Audit (RSA) 

on potential improvement locations. The RSA teams are multi-disciplinary and 

represent the following highway functions; planning, highway design, traffic operations, 

maintenance, and construction. The Cabinet also requests that members from local 

Area Development Districts (ADDs) participate in the process. Highway Districts are 

encouraged to submit candidate projects after completing all established guidelines for 

funding consideration. Funding levels to date have been sufficient to implement 

projects submitted that meet the eligibility guidelines for the program. 

The program methodology used by the Transportation Cabinet during the time period of 

this report was generally the same as in the previous years. With completion of the 

document titled “Kentucky Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Plan” in July 

2010, there has been significant reliance on the recommended approach to supplement 

the traditional process directed to high-crash locations with systematic application of 

low-cost, cost-effective countermeasures. More specifically, the systematic approach 

could be characterized as the reverse of the traditional approach in that low-cost, 

effective countermeasures are first identified and then the crash database is queried to 

identify highway sections that have targeted crashes at or above a crash threshold that 

would insure cost-effective deployment of these countermeasures. 

The HSIP supports Kentucky's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The mission of 

the SHSP is "to reduce Kentucky's highway fatalities and injuries." In conformance with 

program guidelines, the HSIP seeks to adhere to the SHSP through a data-driven 

approach for funding safety improvements. 

Implementation of HSIP projects have been evaluated and results have been documented in the 

form of benefits and costs. Included were projects involving the following countermeasures, with 

their respective B/C ratios:

Rumble Stripes: 11:1

Cable Median Barrier: 7:1 

High-Friction Surfaces: 44:1

Introduction

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program 

with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in fatalities and serious 

injuries on all public roads. As per 23 U.S.C. 148(h) and 23 CFR 924.15, States are 

required to report annually on the progress being made to advance HSIP 

implementation and evaluation efforts. The format of this report is consistent 

with the HSIP MAP-21 Reporting Guidance dated February 13, 2013 and consists 

of four sections: program structure, progress in implementing HSIP projects, 

progress in achieving safety performance targets, and assessment of the 

effectiveness of the improvements.

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners. 

Kentucky's HSIP funds are administered from the Division of Traffic Operations in KYTC's Central Office. Each 

Highway District has a HSIP Coordinator who works closely with the Central Office and other Highway District 

personnel to conduct Road Safety Audits (RSAs) of potential improvement locations. The RSA teams are 

multidisciplinary and represent the following highway functions; planning, design, traffic operations, maintenance, and 

construction. Highway districts are encouraged to submit candidate projects after completing all established 

guidelines for funding considerations. 

HSIP projects are selected and prioritized based on their correlation with Kentucky's Strategic Highway Safety Plan. 

There are presently 10 emphasis areas within the SHSP and efforts are made to implement projects consistent with 

the goals and objectives of the SHSP.

Describe any other aspects of Highway Safety Improvement Program Administration on which you 

would like to elaborate. 

HSIP staff also request that representatives from local Area Development Districts (ADDs) participate in 

the process of identifying potential projects through a RSA on local roads.

The Governor's Office of Highway Safety is responsible for development of the Strategic Highway Safety 

Plan and therefore directly associated with the required correlation between HSIP and SHSP. Efforts 

have been made to use data-driven analysis to identify emphasis areas of high potential to affect safety. 

Some of these emphasis areas, primarily "Roadway Departure" and "Intersections" are consistent with 

the HSIP project selection process.

Local Risk Mitigation Projects have minimum eligibility criteria to be considered for funding. Districts 

complete a Road Safety Audit on potential projects while Central Office HISP staff may gather some 

basic roadway inventory data. Then all potential projects are analyzed to determine present risk factors 

and a score is assigned to each project location by the District and an independent Central Office review 

team. The prioritized statewide list of projects is then submitted to the Secretary of Transportation 

through the State Highway Engineer’s Office for approval based on available funding. The selected 

projects are developed by the appropriate Highway District and delivered by the Central Office HSIP staff 

through the Cabinet’s standard Construction Procurement process.

Discuss impediments to obligating Highway Safety Improvement Program funds and plans to 

overcome this in the future. 

MAP-21 was enacted in 2012 and with that came new guidance and requirements, as well as additional 

funding. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet utilized Kentucky’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan to draft 

a Highway Safety Improvement Program Investment Plan to guide Transportation Safety obligations and 

spending. Once the Investment Plan was completed and shared with the FHWA Kentucky Division, 

Kentucky moved forward with the implementation of the plan which includes emphasis areas for the 

obligation of HSIP funding for upcoming fiscal years and also to program and invest unobligated funds 

from previous fiscal years. For the past several years Kentucky has strived to put a program in place to 

fully implement programmed HSIP improvements through the federal procurement process instead of 

relying upon force account work to complete improvements. This came with several challenges 

including the amount of time required to develop a project for safety improvements that includes all of 

the federal requirements for advertised bid letting as well as the planning and coordination required to 

include projects in KYTC’s Highway Plan for both internal communication and communication with the 

FHWA Kentucky Division.

Describe any other aspects of the general highway safety trends on which you would like to elaborate. 

Fatalities decreased by 14.5 percent from 746 in 2012 to 638 in 2013, representing 108 fewer fatalities. 

These numbers of fatalities vary from those shown in Question 24 which presents the fatalities as 5-year 

moving averages. The fatality rate of 1.36 per 100 MVM was the lowest in Kentucky in more than 30 

years.
