Executive Summary

WSDOT is continuing to see growth in volumes statewide. This trend is considered to be a significant factor in 

the overall increase in fatal and serious crashes statewide. In FY 2019, the state set maintenance targets after 

significant discussion about target setting methodology with its partner agencies and MPOs. WSDOT 

recognizes that there are positives and negatives to setting either aspirational or maintenance targets. 

Regardless of the methods used WSDOT is committed to its Target Zero SHSP, which is currently being 

updated for release in October 2019. WSDOT promotes highway safety performance as a top priority for the 

Department, and has spent significant time communicating this need to the public. In CY 2018, WSDOT 

continued to transition its HSIP program to be much more systemic with an approximate 30% reactive to 70% 

systemic as its end goal. WSDOT continues to work very closely with local agencies with approximately 70% 

HSIP funds going to locals and 30% to WSDOT. WSDOT uses state funds to supplement its safety program. 

Further, WSDOT is now providing all Railway Highway Crossing Program funds to the locals, with the shift 

occurring in FY 2019. Importantly, WSDOT requires counties to have Local Roads Safety Plans to compete for 

HSIP funding and is implementing the same approach with Cities. 

Overall, WSDOT five year trends continue to increase after lows in 2014-15, but found that in CY 2018 flat 

crash statistics appear to be lower in three of the five target areas with very small increase in the suspected 

serious injury and an unfortunate moderate increase in combined bike/ped fatal and suspected serious injuries. 

WSDOT believes that its working partnerships and commitment to highway safety will drive down crashes, as 

will its evolving the safety program to be more proactive . Emphasis areas will continue to be lane departure, 

intersections, vulnerable road users, data analysis and evaluation. 

WSDOT will return to aspirational target setting methods in FY 2020. WSDOT believes that setting increasing 

targets for fatal and suspected serious crashes does not communicate WSDOT's desire to reduce the crashes 

and would not be in keeping with its Target Zero SHSP.

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. 

The WSDOT strategic highway safety plan "Target Zero" is the basis for establishing the programmatic 

structure of WSDOT's approach to programming safety funds, for both WSDOT highways and local roads. 

WSDOT requires local road safety plans for local agencies to be eligible to receive HSIP funding. Currently 

WSDOT provides 70% of HSIP funds to local roads, and supplements the state program with additional state 

funding. Target Zero emphasis areas and strategies are reviewed and WSDOT determines through a review of 

the leading contributing factors, crash types and behaviors, as well as the strategies outlined in its plan how to 

develop a strategic data driven program that will most effectively reduce fatal and serious crashes in 

Washington State. Washington uses a centralized approach for determining HSIP locations within the state, 

through network screening of the locations consistent with the selected network screening methods. These 

preliminary lists are provided to WSDOT regions to determine the appropriate approaches to address the 

contributing factors to address crashes at the respective locations. The program structure has both reactive 

and proactive (systemic) approaches to reducing crash potential. The reactive component focuses on spot 

locations, intersections and segments. The proactive components focus on specific contributing factors and 

crash types to develop a ranked list of potential projects. Spot location projects use a benefit/cost analysis for 

prioritization of the program of projects, and systemic approaches may use network benefit cost or local benefit 

cost for the purposes of prioritization. WSDOT intends to review and update its program structure on an annual 

to biannual basis. 

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT? 

 Other-Transportation Safety and Systems Analysis; Local Programs

WSDOT's State Safety Engineer is located in the Transportation Safety and Systems Analysis Division. The 

HSIP administration for local funding is in the Local Programs Division. However, Programming, Operations, 

and Design make up the Highway Safety Executive Committee along with Transportation Safety and Systems 

Analysis Director.

How are HSIP funds allocated in a State? 

• Central Office via Statewide Competitive Application Process

• SHSP Emphasis Area Data 

• Other-Funds are allocated centrally

WSDOT uses multiple approaches for allocation. Statewide grants are provided on a competitive basis (spot

location and systemic) for local roads. For WSDOT highways fatal and serious crashes for an emphasis and 

associated strategies serve as the starting point for allocations of funds. The Safety Working Group debates 

potential sub-categories and appropriate funding splits for consideration by the Highway Safety Executive 

Committee.

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

Washington uses a data-driven process to determine HSIP funding levels for state vs local roads. The current 

SHSP, "Washington Strategic Highway Safety Plan: Target Zero," (www.targetzero.com) has specified priority 

levels for types/causes/categories of fatal & serious injury crashes based on crash type, driver behaviors, or 

user type. The priority 1 infrastructure related emphasis areas are Lane Departure crashes and Intersection 

crashes. 

To determine the HSIP funding allocation between state and local roadways, WSDOT evaluates the number of 

fatal & serious injury crashes in these priority 1 emphasis areas (lane departure and intersection-related) 

statewide for a consecutive 5-year period. WSDOT calculates the ratio of crashes on local agency 

responsibility roads to those on state highways then allocates HSIP funding between state and local roadways 

based on that percentage. Currently, local agencies receive 70% of HSIP funds and the state receives 30%.

The 70% of funding that goes to local agency safety is divided into a County Safety Program and a City Safety 

Program. Both programs now require that local agencies submit a Local Road Safety Plan to be eligible to 

apply for HSIP funding. The County Safety Program is focused on fatal and serious injury crash risk with a fully 

systemic approach to prioritizing safety projects. The City Safety Program is both proactive (systemic) and 

reactive (spot locations), with spot safety projects being prioritized by competitive benefit/cost ratio statewide. 

Systemic projects for both counties and cities are prioritized by cost effectiveness of the proposed projects, 

factoring in the crash data & LRSP prioritized projects for each agency, the cost of the proposed 

countermeasures, the number of locations being addressed, and the effectiveness of the countermeasures 

proposed.

Tribal roads are also eligible for funding, but must be included as part of a county or city list of proposed 

projects (tribes, counties, and cities are all encouraged to include such projects on prioritized lists). Based on 

fatal and serious injury crash data, a standalone tribal safety call for projects would not receive enough funding 

to be viable as a separate statewide call for projects.

Identify which internal partners (e.g., State departments of transportation (DOTs) 

Bureaus, Divisions) are involved with HSIP planning. 

• Design

• Districts/Regions

• Local Aid Programs Office/Division

• Maintenance

• Operations

• Planning

• Traffic Engineering/Safety

WSDOT works with internal partners with specific groups that are established, including the Highway Safety 

Issues Group, the Safety Working Group, and the Highway Safety Executive Committee.
2019 Washington Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 7 of 67

Describe coordination with internal partners. 

Oversight for the 70% of the HSIP funds that are directed to local agencies is assigned to the Local Programs 

division for management (to determine program methodology, identify local agency priorities, distribution of 

funds to counties & cities, individual project selection, evaluation, federal oversight, project delivery, etc.).

Responsibility for the 30% of the HSIP funds that are directed to the state is managed by the WSDOT Highway 

Safety Executive Committee (HSEC). WSDOT does not have a specific highway safety office solely 

responsible for the HSIP within the DOT, but is a matrixed team. Implementation of highway safety is done 

collaboratively across all of the department's divisions and coordinated between all modes. The highway safety 

program through the HSEC provides department - wide and multimodal coordination and input on highway and 

modal safety issues. Oversight is the responsibility of the Transportation Safety and System Analysis Director 

(State Safety Engineer). The Director of Transportation Safety and System Analysis is responsible for seeing 

that the HSEC policy and procedures are carried out throughout each of the respective divisions. Roles and 

responsibilities of each office are defined by a matrix with agreement by the Directors. H SEC is comprised of 

program directors from all of the major highways divisions (Design, Program Management, Traffic Operations, 

Transportation Safety and Systems Analysis, Development). The Highway Safety Issues Group is comprised 

of each Headquarters Division and Region and provides some technical and informational support, the 

Highway Working Group provides higher levels of technical policy and program implementation support and 

works with the HSEC to carry out the program.

Identify which external partners are involved with HSIP planning. 

• Academia/University

• FHWA

• Governors Highway Safety Office

• Law Enforcement Agency

• Local Government Agency 

• Local Technical Assistance Program

• Regional Planning Organizations (e.g. MPOs, RPOs, COGs)

• Tribal Agency

• Other-WSDOT has organized a Safety Target Setting Organization to establish targets. A safety data 

business plan group is also in place to assist with WSDOT Safety Data needs identification

WSDOT works with multiple agencies to provide coordination externally. Working with the MPOs is 

accomplished through the MPO Technical, Coordinating and Executive Committees. Working with the 

Washington Traffic Safety Commission includes multiple data, policy and Secretary (Executive) level meetings. 

WSDOT offices and Regions meet regularly with the State Patrol and local law enforcement. Local Programs 

(which includes the LTAP Center) works directly with tribes, cities, and counties.

Describe coordination with external partners. 

WSDOT interacts and coordinates with multiple external partners as part of development of Target Zero and in 

setting targets. WSDOT routinely meets with MPOs and State Highway Safety Office (SHSO) and its federal 

divisions in carrying out its safety program activities. See also previous answer.

Describe HSIP program administration practices that have changed since the last 

reporting period. 

For local safety, Local Road Safety Plans have been a requirement for counties to apply for funding since 

2014. In 2018, cities were required to submit a LRSP if applying for systemic (risk-based) projects. Starting 
2019 Washington Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 8 of 67 

with the City Safety call for projects later this year, all cities will be required to submit a LRSP to be eligible to 

apply for funding (even if they are only applying for spot location projects).

Describe other aspects of HSIP Administration on which the State would like to 

elaborate. 

WSDOT previously developed a Safety Improvement Program implementation plan to clearly tie the SHSP 

emphasis areas to the WSDOT safety program. The previous implementation plan is currently scheduled to be 

updated. The plan identifies safety-sub categories for each SHSP emphasis area, and also identifies 

performance measures for each sub-category. The department also reports performance monthly as part of 

performance reporting activities in its Gray Notebook. The state will begin to update the implementation plan in 

fall 2019.

What percentage of HSIP funds address systemic improvements? 

 70

 HSIP funds are used to address which of the following systemic improvements? 

• Cable Median Barriers

• High friction surface treatment

• Horizontal curve signs

• Install/Improve Pavement Marking and/or Delineation

• Install/Improve Signing

• Other-compact roundabouts

• Other-Lane Departure

• Other-Redirectional Land forms

• Other-Terminal Ends

• Upgrade Guard Rails

What process is used to identify potential countermeasures? 

• Crash data analysis

• Data-driven safety analysis tools (HSM, CMF Clearinghouse, SafetyAnalyst, usRAP)

• Engineering Study

• Road Safety Assessment

• SHSP/Local road safety plan

• Other-Use of HSM, Statistical analysis

WSDOT has also developed a shortlist of CMFs for use by analysts.

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

Yes

Describe how the State HSIP considers connected vehicles and ITS technologies. 

ITS technology is, and in the future connected vehicles will be, considered as an appropriate countermeasure 

for safety. The countermeasure would need to shown to have a positive crash reduction potential for fatal and 

serious crashes. A new office has been created within WSDOT related to connected vehicles and the State 

Safety Engineer interacts with that office.

Does the State use the Highway Safety Manual to support HSIP efforts? 

Yes

Please describe how the State uses the HSM to support HSIP efforts. 

WSDOT uses the HSM throughout its HSIP efforts. The state uses SafetyAnalyst for screening of state 

projects. WSDOT has developed a guide on safety analysis in planning and design and when and how to use 

the HSM for those activities. WSDOT has executive orders that direct policy around the use of the HSM.

Describe program methodology practices that have changed since the last reporting 

period. 

WSDOT continues to modify it methodology on an ongoing basis as it develops its approach to safety 

investment.

Describe other aspects of the HSIP methodology on which the State would like to 

elaborate. 

WSDOT continues to focus on data driven safety analysis throughout its program efforts. WSDOT is using 

performance based practical design and a sustainable safety approach. WSDOT has focused on data driven 

approaches through identifying the 5th E of safety as Evaluation, analysis and diagnosis. It is thought that this 

approach allows for the targeting of specific crash types and contributing factors, and also maximizes the 

return on safety benefit for selected countermeasures. WSDOT is developing new systemic sub-categories 

that focus on rural road crashes. The safety program continues to evolve on an ongoing basis.

Totals $84,602,228 $62,132,055 73.44%

The total 23 USC 164 funds awarded are approximately $1.5 M greater than shown, as WSDOT provided a 

portion of the funds to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

How much funding is programmed to local (non-state owned and operated) or tribal 

safety projects?

70%

How much funding is obligated to local or tribal safety projects? 

72%

The state allocates approximately 70% of its HSIP funds to local governments. The state then supplements its 

program with additional state funds. The state program is typically in the range of $100-$150M including HSIP 

Funding.

How much funding is programmed to non-infrastructure safety projects?

Discuss impediments to obligating HSIP funds and plans to overcome this challenge in 

the future. 

WSDOT provides much of its HSIP appropriation to its local partners. Delivery of federally-funded projects with 

all of the attendant paperwork/regulations can make delivery of these projects by local agencies a challenge, 

especially considering the low-cost nature of many safety improvements.

Describe any other aspects of the State’s progress in implementing HSIP projects on 

which the State would like to elaborate. 

WSDOT believes that having the ability to use HSIP funds for non-infrastructure improvements is important to 

reestablish. It would also be helpful to continue to emphasize that expenditure for safety software and data is 

appropriate. Given the changes under MAP-21 and FAST additional wording would be beneficial in 23 USC 

409 and 23 USC 148 that highlights that safety shared with Safety Partners (MPOs, Health, State Police, 

SHSO) is protected for the agency sharing and receiving the data when used for HSIP purposes (e.g., SHSP, 

Target Setting, Safety Planning, Public Awareness). MPOs in our opinion are reluctant to use this data 

because of potential liability concerns.

Functional Classification. The FARS data provided to WSDOT for this reporting changed how functional class 

is reported in 2015. In some cases the reporting would reflect zero values for this reason.

Ownership. The HPMS data only distinguishes between state route, city street, county road, and other roads. 

For reporting the town and city roads are presented together as 'City of Municipal Highway Agency', and the 

'Other category' are reported as 'Other State Agency'. The 'State Highway Agency' category reports results for 

all state highways. In the state of WA these highways, when located within cities with a population of 27.5k or 

greater, the facilities are operated and maintained by the cities (except for pavement preservation). In terms of 

the crash data, the collision report type is used: this may or may not reflect actual roadway ownership.

many fatal and serious injuries as possible. WSDOT closely structures its safety program around the 

data driven Target Zero Emphasis areas and works very closely with it highway safety partners within 

the State to select appropriate strategies to reduce these crashes

These targets are set based on WSDOT's data driven Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which outlines a goal of 

zero fatal and serious crashes by 2030.

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

safety performance targets. 

WSDOT worked directly with partners in setting targets this year. Including multiple meetings with SHSO and 

MPOs. The MPO meetings included outreach to technical, coordinating and executive committees. In addition, 

WSDOT developed worksheets for describing MPO share of safety targets for tracking purposes. The WSDOT 

also made presentations to governing bodies of a number of the MPOs.

Does the State want to report additional optional targets? 

No

Describe progress toward meeting the State’s 2018 Safety Performance Targets (based 

on data available at the time of reporting). For each target, include a discussion of any 

reasons for differences in the actual outcomes and targets. 

WSDOT like many states have seen increases trends in fatality and serious injury crashes. After a long trend 

of reductions, the WSDOT like so many DOTs saw its lowest fatal and serious injury crash statistics in the 

between the years 2013-2015 and then saw increases until 2016. After 2016, the upward trend has stabilized 

on a year-by-year basis. In 2018, WSDOT saw decreases in three of five target areas with an increase of 11 

vehicle occupant serious injuries and 70 non-motorized user serious injuries. WSDOT, recognizes that the five 

year rolling average will begin to show a flattening and then a potentially decreasing in CY 2019 and beyond. 

WSDOT, in FY 2020 will use aspirational targets. WSDOT recognizes that it will not likely meet these targets 

outright given the very significant drop required to meet a 2030 target. However, if current crash statistics 

follow, should make significant progress is most target areas. WSDOT took action based on past increasing 

crash trends and fundamentally modified its safety program to be much more systemic, and directly related to 

the SHSP strategies. Further, WSDOT created an active transportation program to focused on vulnerable road 

users and needs, and created a subcategory in its safety program to specifically deal with vulnerable road user 

crashes. These modifications focus WSDOT efforts towards an increasingly data driven safety program, and 

one that focuses on return on investment within it approach to reducing fatal and serious injury crash potential.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP? 

• Benefit/Cost Ratio

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries

WSDOT uses B/C assessment for determining systemic and crash reduction efforts on state highways. A 

crash analysis report exists for the Crash Analysis Locations, Corridors and Intersection Analysis purposes.

For local roads, HSIP effectiveness has historically been tracked using B/C for each project (and overall). That 

has now shifted to a measure in the change in fatalities and serious injuries overall. This is due to the fact that 

the majority of projects funded on local roads are now risk-based, which is not something measurable by a 

typical B/C ratio.

Based on the measures of effectiveness selected previously, describe the results of 

the State's program level evaluations. 

Fatal and serious injury crashes appear to be leveling off for State roads with small decreases in some areas. 

The Counties appear to have a decline this year and overall most jurisdictions are not seeing the significant 

increases as was seen between 2013 (low) to 2017. Washington continues to measure overall progress by 

jurisdictional type of road (state, county, city). Each of these jurisdiction types is primarily funded through 

separate programs within the HSIP, so this seems like a reasonable way to monitor progress of those 

programs.

Statewide we compare the 5-year rolling average from 2010-2014 with the 5-year rolling average from 2014-

2018. This overlaps the year 2014 in each data set, which then is really a comparison of the 4 years before the 

projects were completed with the 4 years after the projects were completed. By jurisdictional road type, those 

comparisons show:

State Highways: 2010-2014 = 729.0 fatal/serious crashes vs 2014-2018 = 762.4 fatal/serious crashes, or a 5% 

increase.

County Roads: 2010-2014 = 560.6 fatal/serious crashes vs 2014-2018 = 538.2 fatal/serious crashes, or a 4% 

decrease.

City Streets: 2010-2014 = 924.2 fatal/serious crashes vs 2014-2018 = 1002.6 fatal/serious crashes, or a 9% 

increase.

Note that state highways that serve as city streets (in cities of 27,500+ population) are included in the city 

streets data here.

This data continues to highlight that the full systemic safety approach on county roadways, implemented in 

2010 and requiring LRSP development in 2014, is showing some effectiveness. In addition, LRSP-identified 

projects (from 2014) were primarily constructed in 2016-2017. Thus, the 2018 county data, which shows a 12% 

decrease in fatal/serious crashes from 2017 (and is nearly at the all-time low mark in 2013) is hopefully the 

start of a positive trend line for county roads. This decrease on county roads compares to an increase on state 

highways and city streets (1% and 3%, respectively) during the same time period.

The fatalities and serious injuries for state highways have increased for a number of years but appear to be 

leveling off. In cy 2018, fatalities and serious were very close to previous years. The five year trend is showing 

increases after 2014-15 lows.

What other indicators of success does the State use to demonstrate effectiveness and 

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program? 

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process

• Increased focus on local road safety

• More systemic programs

• Organizational change

• Policy change

WSDOT Safety program is continuing to refine its processes, and focus on data driven safety. WSDOT has an 

excellent working relationship with its safety partners, and meets regularly on addressing ongoing issues.

Describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting 

period. 

WSDOT is refining the safety sub-categories within its safety program. These sub-categories will begin to be 

scoped in 2019, and all are closely aligned with the SHSP.

*Based on Functional Classification

Many current production data elements have been collected over a period of decades with varying degrees of precision and accuracy. We also know that changes to the system take place without our knowledge/involvement, such as a 

local developer doing work on our highway system that isn’t always captured on a highway construction contract. In other words, we can’t report what we don’t know.

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.

Over the next year, to three years; WSDOT will continue to develop MIRE FDE collection on all state routes and to collect MIRE FDE for county roads from CRAB.

WSDOT Local Programs does not plan to directly collect MIRE FDE to input into some form of new statewide database. Rather, the focus for city data is to provide access to the data by maintaining points of contact at cities who can 

provide data when needed/requested. WSDOT conducted a detailed survey of local agencies to identify what MIRE FDE data is already being collected agency by agency. About 10% of cities representing over 30% of city lane miles in 

the state responded to the survey. Those results indicated that nearly 2/3 of the lane miles represented in the survey have over 50% of MIRE FDE data available. Local Programs will conduct a simplified follow up survey to get a larger 

response rate that would help extend our understanding of what MIRE FDE data elements are already being collected by cities.

It should also be noted that while no central database of MIRE FDE data for all public roads is planned to conduct statewide safety analyses, all local agencies (in this state) applying for HSIP funds are now required to develop and submit 

a Local Road Safety Plan. This network screening and project prioritization document uses risk to prioritize safety projects for each agency. These LRSPs use a subset of MIRE FDE data, as appropriate for each local agency based on 

their fatal and suspected serious injury crash history, to identify priority locations for safety projects. This safety analysis, conducted by the owners of the roadways, should meet the intent behind collecting MIRE FDE for use in identifying 

safety priorities. Thus, the requirement to use LRSPs by owners of the roadways should fit within the “have access to” requirement for MIRE FDE.

Over the next four to nine years: WSDOT Local Programs will continue to identify points of contact at cities for access to MIRE FDE data. Local Programs will also conduct additional surveys of cities, as needed, to better identify what 

MIRE FDE is being collected by cities. Local Programs will continue to require development of LRSPs by local agencies applying for HSIP funds, allowing for use of MIRE FDE data by the owners of that data in the identification of safety 

priorities.

Our expectation is that data collection and management technologies will include Standard integration tools like SQL and GIS, field inventories, Mobile LiDAR, probe data, and potentially commercial data, etc. 
2019 Washington Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 65 of 67

Data collection and stewardship responsibilities will likely fall to WSDOT TDGMO for state routes, CRAB for county roads, and to WSDOT Local Programs for city streets.

The consolidation of all MIRE data into a single data resource at WSDOT is likely to be difficult. Use of standard database technologies (spatial and non-spatial) are likely to be employed, the update cycle is likely to be limited to resources 

and business drivers within other agencies.

Did the State conduct an HSIP program assessment during the reporting period? 

No

WSDOT continues to update is approach to safety by reviewing data trends, national practices across the SHSP emphasis areas. Fundamentally, this constitutes a HSIP assessment. WSDOT will work with the Division to discuss focus

areas, as it has routinely done in the past.

When does the State plan to complete its next HSIP program assessment.
