Executive Summary

Louisiana has set an aggressive target for reducing death and injury on the roadways - Destination Zero 

Deaths. Great progress has been made since the development and implementation of the 2006 Strategic 

Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and its subsequent update in October, 2011. The 2011 SHSP targets four 

emphasis areas: impaired driving, occupant protection, infrastructure and operations, and crashes involving 

young drivers. Since 2007, traffic fatalities have dropped from 993 to as low as 677 in 2011 and serious injuries 

were reduced from 1830 in 2008 to 1400 in 2016. Louisiana experienced a 0.7 increase in fatalities in 2016; 

however, Louisiana remains below our target of reducing fatalities in half by 2030. 

Louisiana has accomplished a number of successes in each emphasis area including the following: 

• Infrastructure and Operations

Data and analysis improvements: State-specific safety performance functions (SPFs) for network 

screening and calibrated Highway Safety Manual (HSM) models for alternatives evaluations and project 

level analysis have been developed as well as a draft Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) 

Project Selection Guide outlining the criteria that will be used to select and prioritize all HSIP projects. 

Also for evaluation of the SHSP, web-based data dashboards have been created for safety stakeholders 

to assess progress (http://datareports.lsu.edu/shsps.aspx). 

SPF development is still currently underway for intersections and state specific SPF for segments are 

being used for network screening on state routes. A Level of Service of Safety website has been 

developed to display the results of the network screening process for safety stakeholders. The goal is to 

institutionalize the use of the network screening results and share this information with the 

(Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) for further integration of quantitative safety in the 

planning process. 

Also, we have made significant improvements in local road safety data such as crash locations, traffic 

volume estimates, and roadway attribute information so that advanced data analysis methods will be 

possible in the near future. 

We are working with the regional safety coalition SHSP infrastructure and operations emphasis area 

teams to develop district-wide and/or parish-wide plans to identify the highest priority sites with the 

largest safety potential for HSIP funding. 

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development initiated a project to collect MIRE FDE's 

on all public roads and has completed the first phase of the local road contract as to collect video log and 

the MIRE FDE’s on all locally owned public roads. In a current, additional contract, the State is filling 

in the remainder of the local roads that were missed as part of the original contract. The State anticipates 

that it has collected approximately 90% of all the local public roads statewide. These data items have not 

yet been loaded into the enterprise system as the State is still working through issues with the state 

system.

The State has developed a data dictionary that applies to all public roads. We collect data on local roads 

and it does comply with the data dictionary. MIRE FDE's and additional elements, are documented in 

the data dictionary.

Systemic safety improvements: A statewide systemic cable median barrier study produced a prioritized 

list of candidate locations where median barrier would be considered for installation. High speed, 

controlled access facilities statewide with a median width less than 100’ were analyzed in the study. A

systemic roadway departure project on 2-lane rural roadways with a shoulder width between 2’ and 6’ 

and lane width of 12’ is also being implemented at 282 curves (radius equal to or greater than 1640’) 

throughout the state. The countermeasures for the systemic curve project include enhanced signing and 

striping (i.e. 6” edge lines) and high friction surface treatment where pavement condition allows. 

As of July 2017, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) has 

installed approximately 230 miles of cable barriers throughout the state at an investment of 

approximately $30 million. 

There are currently another 46 miles under construction along the I-20 corridor at an investment of 

approximately $9.2 million. In addition to 65 miles along I-55 Tangipahoa at a cost of $7.2 million, 10 

miles along La. 3132 at a cost of $1.6 million, 16 miles along I-220 in Bossier/Caddo for $1.3 million, 

41 miles on I-49 in Caddo/DeSoto for $5.7 million and 3 miles on I-310 in St. Charles for $600k. 

• Occupant Protection: The observed seat belt usage rate has increased steadily of the past five years 

from 77.7 percent in 2011 to 87.8 percent in 2016. University Medical Center, ThinkFirst of Ark-LaTex, Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force, Hispanic Outreach Occupant Protection, and Louisiana 

Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) provided overtime enforcement to 78 local police departments 

and sheriff’s offices along with Louisiana State Police.

• Young Drivers: Sudden Impact Program (comprehensive injury prevention program targeting 

adolescents) reached just over 21,348 students. Think First Program coordinated and implemented 74 

programs on underage drinking and impaired driving for youth (reached 7,537 students and 1,501 

adults). 

• Impaired Driving: DWI overtime enforcement was implemented in Tier One Alcohol Problem ID 

Parishes corresponding with national and state mobilizations. DWI courts were established in three 

judicial districts. No Refusal Programs are expanding across the state.

SHSP Implementation & Update

Louisiana is using a two-tiered approach to implement the SHSP: Statewide Emphasis Area Teams create datadriven action plans and track implementation of SHSP strategies and action steps, and regional Safety 

Coalitions utilize data to identify regional safety needs and develop data-driven five-year regional safety plans 

which identify three to five emphasis areas consistent with the SHSP.

The SHSP Implementation Team oversees overall implementation of the Plan and is supported by an Executive 

Committee. The team consists of representatives from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and 

Development (LA DOTD), Louisiana State Police (LSP), Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC), 

Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), Louisiana Planning Council (LPC), Louisiana Municipal 

Association (LMA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 

(FMCSA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to the statewide emphasis 

area team leaders and regional safety coalition coordinators. 

Regional Highway Safety Coalitions
2017 Louisiana Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 6 of 65

Through a partnership with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), we established nine regional 

transportation safety coalitions across the State. Led by safety coalition coordinators housed within each of the 

MPOs and championed by leaders from a range of agencies and organizations, each coalition comprises local 

experts and advocates working toward the development and implementation of regional safety plans based on the 

SHSP. This regional, grassroots, 4E approach (engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency response) to 

saving lives has proven to be highly effective. 

The Louisiana two-tiered approach to lowering fatalities and serious injuries is accomplished in part by 

developing and continually implementing the federally required SHSP. Each region is charged with forming a 

multidisciplinary or 4E safety coalition, reviewing the regional and local crash data, and developing a 

continually evolving, data driven action plan that is linked to the SHSP. All nine Regional Safety Coalitions 

have adopted regional safety action plans. 

Local Road Safety

Funding for Local Road Safety Improvement Projects is available through the Louisiana Local Road Safety 

Program (LRSP). Eligible projects include those for roadways and transportation systems owned and operated 

by parish and/or municipal road agencies. Specific funds are available for selected projects and additional 

funding sources or resources may be available depending on the type of project. 

The parish safety profiles are preliminary data packages that help to focus efforts at the local level through the 

SHSP Regional Safety Coalitions (coordinated through the Metropolitan Planning Organization). The LRSP 

team envisions the Metropolitan Planning Organizations to help facilitate local road safety plan development 

that starts with the parish safety profiles, stakeholder outreach and coordination, and subsequent project 

application submittals. The proposed process will provide sustainability in terms of institutionalizing safety in 

the planning process and consistency in Local Public Agency Involvement. 

The top 20 parishes were identified using the number of fatalities and serious/moderate injuries. Efforts have 

been focused on the top 20 parishes due to limited resources, but additional parishes may be addressed in the 

future and based on local interest and available resources.

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) administers the LRSP in coordination 

with Louisiana Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). Proposed projects can be submitted anytime throughout 

the year, with the selection process conducted by the LRSP Project Selection Team on a quarterly basis.

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 Reporting Guidance dated December 

29, 2016 and consists of five sections: program structure, progress in implementing highway safety 

improvement projects, progress in achieving safety outcomes and performance targets, effectiveness of the 

improvements and compliance assessment.

Program Structure

Program Administration

Describe the general structure of the HSIP in the State. 

Projects that are identified through the Highway Safety Improvement Plan (HSIP) have the overall goal of 

reducing the number and severity of crashes and decreasing the potential for crashes on all public roads. 

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) performs HSIP components of 

planning, implementation, and evaluation to accomplish requirements of the program. These components 

involve the following: data-driven identification of crash locations, development and implementation of an 

annual program of projects and report annually to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on progress 

and effectiveness. FHWA is involved in all three components, both formally and through informal technical 

assistance. 

LA DOTD completed Safe Routes to Public Places Program Guidelines, Local Road Safety Program Guidelines 

and Highway Safety Improvement Program Infrastructure Project Selection Guide for State Routes. Please see 

the attached documents that explain how HSIP projects are identified, selected, designed, implemented and 

evaluated.

Describe how local and tribal roads are addressed as part of HSIP.

The Local Road Safety Program (LRSP) is allocated approximately $3-5 million per year. Eligible projects 

include those for roadways and transportation systems owned and operated by parish and municipal road 

agencies. Specific funds are available for selected local safety data-driven projects and additional funding 

sources or resources may be available depending on the type of project. Funding for Local Road Safety 

Improvement Projects is available through the LRSP.

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) administers the LRSP in coordination 

with Louisiana Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). LTAP coordinates activities and resources in 

conjunction with the LA DOTD to facilitate quarterly project submittals, review and scoring, and 

recommendation of qualifying project applications for the Local Road Safety Improvement Projects. LTAP has 

also developed parish crash data profiles and delivered crash data workshops to the Top 20 parishes to better 

inform the data-driven process. 

All stakeholders work hard to bring new partners to the table, including judges, private sector employers, tribal 

representatives, driving school educators and non-profit group advocates.

Describe coordination with internal partners.

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) Design assists with Highway Safety 

Improvement Projects (HSIP) by providing quality reviews of scope, budgets, and design alternatives 

considered during feasibility stage as needed. LA DOTD Districts perform review annual High Potential Safety 

Improvement List (HPSI List) and prioritizes potential safety projects within each district. Once locations are 

identified, they perform crash data analysis to select appropriate countermeasures and prepare scope and budget 

for proposed alternatives, including economic evaluation. LA DOTD Planning unit assists with feasibility 

studies which in turn provides guidance as to whether or not a project is a good fit for the safety program. LA 

DOTD Traffic Engineering unit provide input and feedback regarding safety intersection improvements such as 

traffic signals and roundabouts. LA DOTD Operations guidance and feedback is sought when a statewide,

Describe coordination with external partners.

About 25 percent of roadway deaths and 40 percent of all crashes in Louisiana occur on the local road system. 

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) partnered with the Louisiana Local 

Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) to manage the Local Road Safety Program (LRSP) to provide training, 

technical assistance, and outreach to local jurisdictions through an application process.

The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) is actively involved in the development of the SHSP 

particularly the emphasis area plans. As such, the projects and activities funded by the Highway Safety Plan 

(HSP) are reflected in these emphasis area action plans. The second goal in Louisiana’s Statewide 

Transportation Plan (STP) is coordinated with the HSIP and SHSP to provide safe and secure travel conditions 

across all transportation modes through physical infrastructure improvements, operational controls, programs, 

and public education and awareness. One of the ways to achieve this goal is through the objective of reducing 

the number and rate of highway-related crashes, fatalities, and serious injuries, which corresponds to the 

performance targets for the HSIP and HSP and the measurable objectives in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan 

(SHSP). A review of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP) found several areas that link to the SHSP 

including removing alcohol- and drug-impaired commercial vehicle operators from the road and outreach and 

education on seat belt use.

LA DOTD works closely with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) division office on statewide and 

regional initiatives related to SHSP strategies and HSIP, in particular those related to safety data and planning 

and HSIP infrastructure projects. 

 
2017 Louisiana Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 10 of 65

Local and state law enforcement agencies actively participate in the statewide SHSP emphasis area teams and 

the regional safety coalitions. Their involvement is critical as SHSP strategies are initiated and achieved at the 

regional level. Their participation is also key for statewide safety initiatives/campaigns. In addition, the law 

enforcement agencies participate in the Road Safety Audits.

 

LA DOTD also employs a law enforcement liaison to assist with trainings and outreach to the various law 

enforcement agencies statewide to increase the quality of data. Additional duties include Traffic Incident 

Management and Work Zone law enforcement training. 

 

Regional Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) are actively engaged within the regional safety 

coalitions. Each MPO employs a safety coalition coordinator to oversee the activities of each coalition. The 

planning organizations also work with the LA DOTD planners to use safety and roadway data for their internal 

analyses and assist with their internal prioritization of projects.

 

Louisiana Center for Transportation (LCTS) Safety was established as part of the LA DOTD/Louisiana 

Transportation Research Center to assist the LA DOTD with highway safety focused research being performed 

in Louisiana, improving workforce development for highway safety professionals, and SHSP initiatives and 

strategies identified at a statewide level. 

 

The Highway Safety Research Group (HSRG) at Louisiana State University (LSU) provides assistance to LA 

DOTD for fatal Accident Reporting System, crash report software development and training, data quality 

reviews, and real-time reporting tools for stakeholders. HSRG also conducts specialized crash data analysis 

studies as requested by LHSC, LA DOTD, or Louisiana State Police (LSP).

(AASHTO) goal of halving fatalities by 2030. Louisiana’s Strategic Highway Safety 

Plan (SHSP), which the LA DOTD oversees, reflects this overall goal as well. Despite 

an increase in fatalities and serious injuries over the last few years, it was decided to 

renew the commitment to saving lives and continue to set decreasing targets. LA 

DOTD reviewed the actual and linear trend of fatalities, fatality rate, serious injuries, 

serious injury rate and the statewide non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries over 

5 year moving periods dating back to 2005. Trends were evaluated to determine if a 

linear trend could be established and carried through 2018. In most cases, a linear 

trend-derived target was adopted. These targets are less aggressive than in years past 

and represent a 1% annual decrease from the most current 5-year average. Based on 

historical data, the number of fatalities has increased annually over the last 3 years 

from 704 in 2013 to 758 in 2016. A steady percentage based reduction was chosen as 

the most practical justification for determine the 2018 target. To achieve the 2018 

target, fatalities will have to be reduced by two percent from 736 (2012 to 2016 

average) to 721.0 in 2018.

have increased from 1386 in 2015 to 1401 in 2016. A five-year average trend line was 

chosen as the most practical justification for determining the 2018 target based on 

trends and current programs enacted to address overall serious injuries in the State. To 

achieve the 2018 target, serious injuries will have to be reduced by two percent from 

1372 (2012 to 2016 average) to 1344.3 in 2018.

Total Number of Non-Motorized 

Fatalities and Serious Injuries 310.7 

Describe the basis for established target, including how it supports SHSP goals. 

The overall goal is to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on Louisiana roadways. 

This goal is especially critical for our most vulnerable non-motorized users, a 

population that has seen rapid growth in recent years. As mentioned previously, LHSC 

and the LA DOTD teamed up to identify consistent goals to be adopted by both 

agencies. The two agencies agreed to adopt the AASHTO goal of halving fatalities by 

2030 for all road users. The SHSP, which the LADOTD oversees, reflects this overall 

goal as well. Despite an increase in fatalities and serious injuries over the last few 

years, it was decided to renew the commitment to saving lives and continue to set 

decreasing targets. LA DOTD reviewed the actual and linear trend of fatalities, fatality 

rate, serious injuries, serious injury rate and the statewide non-motorized fatalities and 

serious injuries over 5 year moving periods dating back to 2005. Trends were 

evaluated to determine if a linear trend could be established and carried through 2018.

aggressive than in years past and represent a 1% annual decrease from the most 

current 5-year average. Non-motorized user fatalities and serious injuries have 

increased annually for all but one year in the last 7 years climbing from 233 in 2010 to 

346 in 2016. However as practical solutions are implemented and as awareness is 

heightened we feel confident that a 1% decrease annually can be realized. To achieve 

the 2018 target, the serious injury rate per 100 MVMT will have to be reduced by 2.0 

percent from 317 (2012 to 2016 average) to 310.7 in 2018.

Describe efforts to coordinate with other stakeholders (e.g. MPOs, SHSO) to establish safety performance 

targets. 

For support on safety performance management and target setting, Louisiana Department of Transportation and 

Development (LA DOTD) works with the Highway Safety Research Group (HSRG) at Louisiana State 

University. HSRG has developed several web-based dashboards to support the SHSP, including one for target 

setting. The dashboard calculates five year averages and shows how they compare to the Strategic Highway 

Safety Plan (SHSP) goal, which is halving fatalities by 2030. It also calculates a linear trend forecast. It is 

possible to filter the data in the target setting dashboard by the nine Regional Safety Coalitions established to 

implement the SHSP. Each regional coalition has its own SHSP safety goal, which is a proportion of the total 

State SHSP goal. Coalitions can use the dashboard to look at trend lines. Given that the regional safety 

coalitions represent larger areas than the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and already have their 

own strategic goals related to the SHSP, participants noted it may be confusing for the MPOs to set additional 

safety targets.

For annual performance targets the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) has used three and fiveyear average linear trends to set targets. Generally they have used three-year averages, which has better Rsquared values indicating how well the trend line fit the data. For some emphasis areas, such as non-motorized 

crashes, they have chosen a target of maintenance of the same value. In the future LHSC targets for the 

common measures will need to be set using five-year rolling averages to be in alignment with the FHWA rule 

and so LADOTD/SHSO targets will be identical.

LA DOTD and LHSC have been working together for the past several years to obtain agreement on targets. 

They have reviewed trends using three and five year averages and chosen targets based on the trend line that 

seems most reasonable based on the R-squared and the annual percentage reduction required to meet the target. 

Louisiana has an SHSP Implementation team, which meets twice per year. In 2017 this group will meet early in 

the year and agree on safety targets for the required performance measures.

According to the Planning Final Rule (Statewide and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning; Metropolitan 

Transportation Planning Final Rule issued May 27, 2016) Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTPs) will need 

to discuss how the plan will achieve safety targets. The MPOs Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and 

the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) also must discuss how they will achieve 

targets. Every MTP update will include development of a System Performance Report, which will state what 

targets are and whether the region achieved targets.

Safety performance management happens annually. However for other performance measures it will not be 

reported annually.

The review of MPO target achievement will be part of FHWA planning process reviews. Any needed changes 

will happen within the planning process review. There is no consequence for MPOs in the Federal legislation. 

MPOs will report their targets (either targets specific to the region or support of the five State safety targets, or a 

combination of the two) to the LA DOTD. A method for reporting to the State DOT is not prescribed. The LA 

DOTD needs to determine how that will happen. For example, reporting could take the form of MPO minutes 

that are copied to the LA DOTD or letter from MPO Executive director to LA DOTD. 

Does the State want to report additional optional targets?

Enter additional comments here to clarify your response for this question or add supporting information.

A formal evaluation is conducted and reported to the legislature based on all crashes at HSIP locations. For 

planning purposes the change in fatalities and serious injuries is also considered.

Based on the measures of effectiveness selected previously, describe the results of the State's program 

level evaluations.

Louisiana is showing slight increases in fatal and serious injuries from 2015 to 2016 although overall the total 

number of fatalities have increased by six. While nationally fatalities have increased by 6%, Louisiana showed 

a 0.7% increase. Locations where projects were funded in the HSIP showed a ten percent reduction in all 

crashes.

No known local road ramps or interchanges. 

Describe actions the State will take moving forward to meet the requirement to have complete access to the MIRE fundamental data elements on all public roads by September 30, 2026.

All fundamental MIRE data elements are 100% collected, or estimated, with the exception of Interchange Type (182) and Ramp AADT (191). Those two are 30% complete for State Owned roads and should be 100% in two more years. 

Those two for Non State Owned roads have yet to be identified. 

Provide the suspected serious injury identifier, definition and attributes used by the State for both the crash report form and the crash database using the table below. Please also indicate whether or not these elements are 

compliant with the MMUCC 4th edition criteria for data element P5. Injury Status, suspected serious injury.
