I. Introduction

On July 6, 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) 

was signed into law. MAP-21 creates a performance based program, and provides 

funding for surface transportation programs for fiscal years 2013-2014. With MAP-21, 

the funding for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) was doubled. The 

High Risk Rural Road Program (HRRRP) no longer has a set aside amount, and was 

absorbed by the larger HSIP. The Rail-Highway Grade Crossing (HRGX) maintained its 

separate funding and reporting requirements. Additionally, the MAP-21 legislation 

increased the amount of flexibility states have to enact unique programs to improve 

highway safety, and provided increased HSIP eligibility for non-infrastructure safety 

efforts such as programs to reduce unsafe driver behaviors. 

The following report is submitted in accordance with Subchapter J – Highway 

Safety Section 924.15. This comprehensive report details West Virginia’s Highway 

Safety Improvement Program for the time period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. 

This document includes all projects implemented with HSIP funding including those 

projects funded with HRRRP and HRGX funding. In addition, the report details 

projects funded with penalty transfer funds, as required in both SAFETEA-LU and 

MAP-21. Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Reporting Guidance as transmitted in the February 13, 2013 memo was followed in 

developing the following report.

II. Program Structure

A. Program Administration

West Virginia’s Highway Safety Improvement Program is coordinated by the 

Mobility and Safety Section of the WVDOH’s Traffic Engineering Division. The Section 

is responsible for reviewing and evaluating any project that is a candidate for highway 

safety funding. The initial review and evaluation of a potential project will include the 

analysis of crash data for the location, a field review of the site, and the collection of any 

other information found appropriate to evaluate the proposed project. Once a positive 

safety benefit is determined to exist for a project, the methodology discussed below is 

used to select and prioritize projects for the State’s HSIP. Once a project is selected for 

the HSIP, the Section is responsible for selecting an HSIP funding category for the

project and submitting appropriate programming documents where HSIP funds are 

encumbered and projects are assigned to the State’s Statewide Transportation 

Improvement Program (STIP). The Mobility and Safety Section remains responsible for

monitoring and balancing the use of HSIP funds, and evaluating the effectiveness of a 

project following its completion.

 
Highway Safety Improvement Program

2013 Annual Report Page 2

B. Program Methodology

West Virginia Division of Transportation maintains approximately ninety-five 

percent (95%) of the roads in the State, including all secondary or county routes. As 

such, all HSIP funds are typically used for highway safety projects on the State 

Highway System. Very few of the State’s municipalities own city streets. These are 

typically lower volume and do not have significant numbers of fatal or serious injury 

crashes occurring on them; however, should a safety concern exist on a municipal street 

the project would be eligible to compete for available HSIP funds.

The overall purpose of the HSIP is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic 

fatalities and incapacitating injuries through the implementation of infrastructurerelated highway safety improvements. Components of West Virginia’s HSIP include 

the Strategic Highway Safety Program (SHSP), the Highway Safety Improvement 

Program (HSIP), the High Risk Rural Roads Program (HRRRP), the Railway-Highway 

Grade Crossing Program (HRGX) and the Penalty Transfer (OCRO), as shown in Figure 

1. This annual report contains an evaluation of the overall HSIP, including the HRRRP

and the HRGX. 

Figure 1 – HSIP Structure

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP):

All projects utilizing federal safety funding must meet one of the following 

criteria:

1. Proactive Measure/ Systemwide Solutions. West Virginia’s current Strategic 

Highway Safety Plan designates systemic strategies as vital to the reduction 

of fatalities and disabling injuries in highway crashes. In addition, other 

systemic strategies may be identified in the future that can be used 

systemwide to reduce fatalities and disabling injuries. Some examples of

systemic strategies include paved shoulders, rumble strips and sign 

upgrades. 

2. Reactive Measure: Severe Crash Experience. Projects meeting this criterion 

must provide a corrective improvement to a location with disabling injury 

&/or fatal crash experience (severe crash experience). This severe crash 

experience may be demonstrated in the reports generated through the State’s 

Crash Records Database or discovered through emerging safety needs with 

fatal and/or disabling injury crash experiences. 

3. Safety Assessment / Safety Needs Identification. Safety needs can be 

identified as a result of a Road Safety Audit, which focuses on specific 

locations or corridors to identify potential safety issues and countermeasures. 

A Road Safety Audit can be completed from the analysis of two people or can 

involve a larger team of safety experts. Innovative and creative safety 

countermeasures can be implemented to remove or minimize the safety 

concern (these may or may not have an identified crash reduction factor). 

Prior to being included and/or funded as a “highway safety project”, the 

Mobility and Safety Section of Traffic Engineering shall review, approve, and sign off 

on project programming documents and/or agreements. 

Once potential projects have been shown to have a positive safety benefit, 

projects are prioritized based upon their benefit/cost ratio. The new Safety 

Management System under development will streamline this process, and a more 

competitive process for obtaining HSIP funding should result.

A summary of the HRGX methodology is presented in Section VI of this 

document.

III. PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING HSIP PROJECTS

A. HSIP Funds Programmed

In FY 2013, West Virginia received an annual apportionment of $25,445,237 in 

HSIP funding. When combined with the unauthorized balance of $28,202,814 received 

in previous §148 apportionments, West Virginia had a total of $53,648,051 available in 

§148 HSIP funding for FY 2013. As a result of previous unauthorized balances of 
Highway Safety Improvement Program

2013 Annual Report Page 4

Hazard Elimination (§152) and Optional Safety funds carried over from both the 

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) and Intermodal Surface 

Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), West Virginia also began FY 2013 with $665,999

additional dollars available for HSIP projects. 

As of the end of the 2012 Legislative Session, West Virginia still does not have an 

Open Container Law. As such, the State is subject to a penalty transfer of highway 

construction funds to our 402 Program as described in §154. As permitted in §154, West 

Virginia elects to use a majority of these transferred funds to fund additional projects 

through the HSIP.

 West Virginia’s Repeat Offender Law failed to meet federal requirements until 

FY 2006. As such, West Virginia was subject to an additional penalty transfer as 

described in §164. West Virginia’s Governor’s Highway Safety Program has awarded 

WVDOH, between FY 2001 and FY 2012, $58,838,036 under a grant to perform HSIP 

eligible projects in accordance with the State’s plan for §154/§164 transfer funds. 

Under MAP-21, the reporting requirements for these funds have changed. 

WVDOH will work with FHWA instead of Governor’s Highway Safety Program on 

tracking projects programmed with §154 funds. During FY 2013, these sanctions 

resulted in the transfer of an estimated $9.427,942 of which 60% was dedicated to the 

HSIP. 

The following table details the varying categories of HSIP funds available during 

FY2013, including the amount of funding programmed and obligated under each 

category:

Table 1: HSIP Project Funding

Funding Category Programmed Obligated

HSIP (§148) $19,014,022 $9,434,326

Hazard Elimination (§152) $2,358,964 $48,394

Penalty Transfer (§154 &§164) $18,624,044 $4,311,762

Total $39,997,030 $13,794,482

B. General Listings of Projects

During FY 2013, $6,239,229 in HSIP projects were completed in West Virginia. 

Table 6 in Appendix A of this report lists those projects. For purposes of this table, 

projects are broken out by phases – project, engineering, right-of-way, and construction

was completed during FY 2013. Additional phases of the project, also receiving HSIP 

funding, may appear on the same table and/or on Table 7, also in Appendix A which 

list on-going HSIP funded projects. 

During FY 2013, West Virginia had $39,997,030 in HSIP projects underway. 

Table 7 in Appendix A of this report lists those projects. As with Table 6, projects 

included in Table 7 are listed by phase receiving HSIP funding. Additional phases, also 

receiving HSIP funding, of the same project may appear on Table 6 or Table 7

depending upon the status of that phase. 

An additional $36,747,015 in HSIP projects were planned, but not yet authorized, 

during FY 2013. Table 8 in Appendix A of this report lists those projects. As with Tables 

6 and 7, projects included in Table 8 are listed by phase receiving HSIP funding. 

Additional phases, also receiving HSIP funding, of the same project may appear on 

Tables 6, 7 or 8 depending upon the status of that phase.

IV. PROGRAM EVALUATION

WVDOH and FHWA staff performed a review of HSIP elements, and developed 

four recommendations. The following recommendations will be implemented by 

December 2014:

1. Complete new crash database and Safety Management System.

2. Establish a managed accountable policy that includes a defined process to 

choose the most appropriate designer for each project as well as standards.

3. Create a roadside safety checklist for designers to complete and include in 

project file.

4. Develop a process for using the Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity 

projects.

A. General Highway Safety Trends

Figures 2 through 6 depict various traffic-related rates and trends in West Virginia 

for 2008 through 2012. As shown in Figure 2, the total number of fatalities increased 

from 315 in 2010 to 339 in 2012. 2010 was the lowest number of fatalities on record, and 

though 2011 showed an increase in fatalities it was lower than in 2008 and 2009.

Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP):

West Virginia developed its Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) in-house in 

2007, and began updating in 2010. However, staffing levels and involvement in the 

development of new Safety Management System has not allowed time to conduct the 

extensive highway safety data analysis, outside agency coordination, public 

involvement process, and implementation plan required to perform the update inhouse. Therefore, Cambridge Systematics was selected to develop an implementation 

plan for the Highway Safety Manual and update the SHSP. Under Map-21, all state 

SHSPs must be updated before August 1, 2014. 

The draft SHSP sets a goal of “Zero Fatalities...Saving One Life at a Time” and 

includes the following five (5) emphasis areas:

1. Roadway Departure

2. Proper Use of Occupant Protection

3. Impaired Driving

4. At Risk Driver Age Groups

2013 Annual Report Page 9

The first four (4) of the five (5) SHSP emphasis areas listed above were selected 

as they represented highway safety concerns. The last area, Improving Highway Safety 

Data, was selected as it was believed to be essential to the development and 

continuation of a productive SHSP. Good highway safety data is the key to 

understanding what the State’s highway safety problems are and determining whether 

projects and programs are effectively addressing the safety concern.

Emphasis Area: Roadway Departure

Roadway departure crash is defined as a non-intersection crash which occurs 

after a vehicle crosses an edge line or a center line, or otherwise leaves the traveled way. 

Roadway departure crashes account for the largest percentage of fatalities in West 

Virginia. Figure 5 depicts roadway departure fatal crashes and total fatal crashes in 

West Virginia. Over the last five years, West Virginia has either been Number One (1)

or Two (2) in the United States in fatal roadway departure crashes by percentage. It is 

for this reason WVDOH has requested on several occasions to be added to FHWA’s 

Focus States for Roadway Departure. FHWA maintains that West Virginia is not

eligible because their overall number is too low. West Virginia is a rural state with 

lower raw numbers due to less population, and would qualify if it was measured by 

any other tool. FHWA has offered to work with WVDOH, and provide many of the 

programs available to focus states.

A roadway departure team was established to develop and implement a plan to 

reduce fatalities and serious injuries caused by roadway departure. The multiagency 

team is responsible for the Roadway Departure portion of the SHSP. In addition, 

WVDOH has developed an internal task force to work on policy, specifications, and 

details pertaining to roadway departure. The Mobility and Safety Engineer serves as 

leader of both committees to maintain consistency in recommendations. The WVDOH

task force is comprised of multiple divisions within the WVDOH, and meet monthly. 

Some of the programs they have successfully developed and implemented include 

SafetyEdge SM, High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST), Thirty-One Inch (31”) 

Guardrail, and new High Tension Cable Guardrail specifications.

Older Driver Special Rule

A new Special Rule for Older Drivers created under MAP-21 requires states to address 

older driver and pedestrian safety in their SHSP if the rate of fatalities and injuries for 

older drivers and pedestrians increases during the most recent two year period. Below 

is data for older driver and pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries from 2005 to 2011 in 
Highway Safety Improvement Program

2013 Annual Report Page 10

West Virginia. It was found that the rate has decreased over the most recent two year 

period (from 9.9 in 2009 to 9.8 in 2011) in West Virginia meaning the special rule does 

not apply. However, WVDOH has already identified older and younger driver safety 

as an emphasis area in their SHSP and plan to keep it as an emphasis in future SHSP 

updates. 

Table 2: Older Driver Special Rule Data

2009 5-year average rate: 9.9

2011 5-year average rate: 9.8

The rates used for the two year comparison were calculated as follows:

V. HIGH RISK RURAL ROADS PROGRAM (HRRRP)

In West Virginia, the HRRRP is managed through the Traffic Engineering Division’s 

Traffic Mobility and Safety Section, as a part of the overall HSIP. Rural collectors or 

rural local roads generally correlate to the county route highway class and WVDOH 

maintains all of the State’s more than 28,000 miles in county routes. The State has been 

able to allocate HSIP funds to the some of the routes; however, as County Routes are the 

most rural and low-volume of the highway classes they often lose out when competing 

for funding against projects on routes in higher classifications. The availability of 

HRRRP funding has provided WVDOH with the ability to combat this problem by 

utilizing HRRRP funding to implement safety improvements on routes within this 

system which have fatal and/or serious injury crash rates above the statewide average 

for county routes. 

A. HRRRP Funds Available (Programmed)

A total of $4,296,007 of HRRRP funding was available to program in FY2013. WVDOH 

is currently developing projects that should utilize most if not all of the HRRRP funding 

in FY 2014.

B. Program Methodology

An effort to involve district staff was initiated in FY 2011. The district traffic 

engineers were provided a list of county routes in their district, which appeared on the 

Transparency Report for any fiscal year 2006-2012. The district traffic engineers were 

asked to conduct a field review of each of their routes and to work with the Mobility 

and Safety Section to develop projects. Road Safety Audits (RSA) were also performed 

at the district’s request. The district traffic engineers were encouraged to include lowcost safety improvements in their project recommendations. 

C. HRRRP Projects Initiated

There were three projects completed this year, shown in Table 9 in Appendix B. 

Table 10 in Appendix B contains a list of projects that have been programmed with 

HRRRP funding in FY 2013. Additionally Table 11 of Appendix B contains a listing of 

projects that are planned for HRRRP funding, but were not authorized as of the end of 

FY 2013. 

VI. Highway-Rail Grade Crossing (HRGX) Program

A. Program Description/Funding

23 USC §130(g) requires each State to prepare an annual report on the progress 

and effectiveness of the State’s implementation of a railroad-highway crossings 

program as also required by §130. 23 USC §148 requires States to submit an annual 

report that describes how improvements contributed to reducing fatalities and serious 

injuries at railway-highway crossings. 

This section details West Virginia’s Highway-Railroad Grade Crossing (HRGX) 

Program for the time period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. It includes all 

projects implemented with HRGX (§130) funding, and is in accordance with FHWA’s 

Railway-Highway Crossings Program Reporting Guidance memo dated February 22, 

2013. 
Highway Safety Improvement Program

2013 Annual Report Page 13

In FY 2013, West Virginia received an apportionments of $990,328 and $990,328

in Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing Hazard Elimination (HE) funding and 

Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing Protective Device (PD) funding, respectively. 

When combined with the unobligated balances of $3,103,169 in HE funding and 

$1,179,084 in PD funding received in previous §130 apportionments and extensions, 

West Virginia had a total of $4,093,497 in HE funds and $2,169,412 in PD funds 

available in §130 funding for FY 2013. As a result of previous unobligated balances of 

Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing Hazard Elimination and Railroad/Highway Grade 

Crossing Protective Device funds carried over from both the Transportation Equity Act 

for the 21st Century (TEA-21) and Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act 

(ISTEA), West Virginia also began FY 2013 with an additional $1,093,956 in HE funds 

and $72,711 in PD funds available for HRGX projects. The tables 3 and 4 detail the 

varying categories of HRGX funds available for HE and PD projects during FY2013, 

including the amount of funding programmed and obligated under each category:

During FY 2013, $630,000 in HRGX Hazard Elimination projects were completed 

in West Virginia. During the same period, the State completed $1,088,342 in HRGX

Protective Device projects. Table 12 in the Appendix C of this report lists those projects. 

For purposes of this table, projects are broken out by phases – engineering, right-ofway, and construction - receiving HRGX funding. Only the specified phase for projects 

included in the Table was completed during FY 2013. Additional phases of the project, 

also receiving HRGX funding, may appear on the same table and/or on Table 13, also in 

the Appendix C which lists on-going HRGX funded projects.

During FY 2013, West Virginia had $4,926,095 in HRGX Hazard Elimination 

projects and $7,590,790 in HRGX Protective Device funded projects underway. Tables 

12 and 13 in Appendix C of this report lists projects receiving HRGX funding by phase. 

Additional phases, also receiving HRGX funding, of the same project may appear on 

Table 12 or Table 13 depending upon the status of that phase. 

B. Rates and Trends (Overall Program Effectiveness)

Figure 10 depicts highway-rail grade crossing crash trends in West Virginia for 2003

through 2012. As shown, relatively few highway-rail fatal crashes occur on a yearly 

basis. The total number of highway-rail crashes has declined since 2003.

Figure 6 – Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Crash Trends

C. Data Acquisition and Analysis Efforts

West Virginia’s Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing Inventory is updated and 

maintained by WVDOH’s Program Planning and Administration Division. At the end 

of FY 2009 efforts to update and modernize the inventory were begun. West Virginia is 

utilizing the two percent (2%) of their allocated HRGX funding for this purpose. At this

time, the updated inventory is operational. The updated inventory includes GPS 

locations for all public crossings. A consultant has been hired to put the updated 

inventory into a database and a collection tool for the database has been developed. 

There are a total of 1,422 public railroad-highway grade crossings in West 

Virginia. The following table summarizes these crossings by the type of safety devices 

currently installed.

identified as part of the FY 2013 HRGX program. Table 12 lists all of the projects that 

were completed with HRGX funding and Table 13 lists all of the on-going projects with 

HRGX funding.

E. Project Evaluation

West Virginia’s Highway-Railroad Grade Crossing Program is operated as a 

component of our overall Highway Safety Improvement Program, which is centrally 

coordinated by WVDOH’s Traffic Engineering Division. West Virginia has had a very 

active and effective HRGX Program since the 1970’s. As a result of this program, the 

State rarely experiences serious (Type A) injury or fatal crashes at any of our nearly 

1420 railroad crossings. As such, the emphasis of the State’s HRGX has shifted from 

identifying and developing projects to address crossings with high occurrences of 

serious injury or fatal crashes to maintaining the current condition of our crossings to 

reduce the overall potential of collisions at the State’s public crossings. To accomplish 

this, each year WVDOH uses both Railroad/Highway Crossing Hazard Elimination 
Highway Safety Improvement Program

2013 Annual Report Page 16

funds and Railroad/Highway Protective Device funds to develop and implement 

projects to install or replace railroad crossing signals and/or gates, to upgrade and 

improve crossing surfaces, and to eliminate potential crashes by closing existing 

railroad crossings.
