Executive Summary 

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is pleased to present this 2018 Annual Report of our progress 

with the Highway Safety Improvement Program. In 2017, 1,137 people lost their lives on Pennsylvania's 

roadways - a record low since record keeping began in the 1920s. But we have miles to go to reach our 

ultimate goal of zero deaths on our roads, and our journey includes ongoing work on both the behavioral side 

of crash causations as well as continuing to improve our highway infrastructure. 

Since the last Annual Report, we have maintained our progress on several key initiatives. Pennsylvania started 

using the PA Regionalized SPFs developed January 2016 for a statewide network screening of about 20,000 

locations. These new evaluations use the Highway Safety Manual's analysis method of Excess Expected 

Average Crash Frequency with Empirical Bayes (EB) adjustments also known as Potential for Safety 

Improvement (PSI). This method uses the calculated expected crashes for a location and subtracts the

Predicted crash frequency for that same location to produce an excess (or PSI) value. All 67 counties have that 

calculated difference value ordered highest to lowest on a county specific spreadsheet. Any excess (or PSI) 

value above zero shows a potential for safety improvement over the state’s predicted annual crashes for that 

category of roadway or intersection. Locations can then be prioritized using the PSI value. This method is 

explained in section 4.4.2.13 of the 2010 AASHTO HSM. The network screening is broken down into four 

categories which are:

• Rural intersections 

• Urban Intersections 

• Rural segments 

• Urban segments 

These network screenings were provided to the Engineering District by EXCEL workbooks for all 67 counties 

and in an interactive GIS Heat map that shows locations in different colors based on the excess value. Each 

county has an excel workbook for the intersections and a second for the segments. The new screenings do not 

include ramps, ramp terminals, speed change lanes, and freeway locations since Pennsylvania does not have 

regionalized SPFs for freeways or ramp terminals or calibration factors for these highway facilities yet. Existing 

roundabouts are excluded from the new network screening since no SPFs are available for roundabouts in the 

2010 HSM or in the regionalized PA specific SPFs. These types of locations are still eligible for safety project 

funding, but will require the Engineering Districts’ or MPO/RPO applicant to perform a more advanced safety 

analysis to justify an HSIP project. The intersection analysis required several local highway traffic volume 

counts. PennDOT collected traffic volumes on about 2300 local highways in almost 700 municipalities. The 

traffic volume counts for the network screening will also be a benefit for the new MIRE FDE collection mandate 

in the FAST Act. 

The Pennsylvania regionalized SPFs have part of the Pennsylvania specific HSM analytical tool. PennDOT 

provided several Pennsylvania specific HSM trainings last year and has several more planned through 2018 

into 2019. The PennDOT HSM classes cover not only the manual, but also different tools to use and when to 

use them. This class gives practical examples and then allows attendees to use the PennDOT HSM analysis 

tool to perform safety analysis. 

PennDOT is currently in the process of updating Publication 638, The District Highway Safety Guidance 

Manual , to include the new FAST Act rules for HSIP funding criteria and updates to our crash data reporting 

tools. We will also be working to update several publications to incorporate the concepts of the Highway Safety 

Manual into our policies and practices. PennDOT created and published its new Publication 638A, 

Pennsylvania Safety Predictive Analysis Methods Manual or P-SPAMM . This new manual is intended for 

people that attended the PennDOT HSM training to use when completing safety analysis. The new manual 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 5 of 87

provides quick references to SPF formulas for different facility types and explains different terms. The manual 

provides clear understanding about variables in an SPF formula. 

Many of our engineering districts completed projects associated with the Intersection Safety Implementation 

and Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Plans. PennDOT working with the FHWA completed a new 

Speed Management Action Plan (SMAP). The SMAP assessments and strategies is another tool to use in 

reducing speed related injury crashes. 

PennDOT continues to use the SharePoint application website to ensure better tracking of HSIP funding 

applications from the engineering districts and the regional planning partners. Previously only Districts could 

submit HSIP applications. The Share Point site allows MPO/RPOs to submit for projects. Since the adoption of 

the HSIP Share Point site there have been a few MPO/RPOs that have submitted projects for approval. The 

HSIP SharePoint application program went live in January 2017.

While a lot of work remains to reach our goal of reducing highway fatalities to zero in 2046, we remain 

encouraged by the progress that has been made and the opportunities for the future.

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. 

HSIP projects are identified by using data driven safety analysis which includes crash data or by implementing 

known systemic safety improvements identified by the Highway Safety & Traffic Operations Division. Project 

locations and systemic project scopes are developed by the Engineering Districts and /or the regional planning 

partners. These project proposals are then sent to PennDOT’s Highway Safety & Traffic Operations Division 

(HSTOD) for a technical review and then to the Center for Program Development and Management for funding 

and fiscal review. Then projects receive final approval from the FHWA Division office. Projects are selected for 

implementation based on the projected safety benefit of the safety countermeasures and the allowable funding. 

Projects are then developed and designed by the Engineering Districts. The Engineering Districts let the 

construction projects (Letting is the day construction project bids are received for the project and the lowest 

bidder is shown), provide construction inspection and oversight. As part of the annual HSIP report HSTOD 

evaluates projects before and after the project was constructed to determine a perceived net benefit based the 

reduction of fatal, injury, and property damage only crashes. PennDOT also tracks the implementation of 

systemic improvements like rumble strips, High Friction Surface treatments, and High Tension Cable Median 

Barrier. A network analysis of these systemic improvements is completed when there is enough data in a given 

time span.

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

Local highways (those not owned and maintained by the Commonwealth) make up two-thirds of the 

approximately 120,000 miles of highways in Pennsylvania. These roads are owned by the 2,561 municipalities 

across the state. In 2016 16% of fatalities and 25% of reportable crashes have occurred on the local road 

network. Local highway fatalities increased to 182 in 2017 from 180 in the 2016. Local road fatalities have 

hovered above or below 200/year over the past two decades with the highest total of 279 in the year 2007 and 

the lowest count of 163 in the year 2002. 

To more accurately determine local roads safety needs, PennDOT was able to create local road cluster lists for 

each municipality. Each list has the street name and how many fatalities and injury crashes occurred on that 

local road within that municipality. Specific locations on local roads could not be provided on the list since 

segmenting local roads has not been completed yet. PennDOT does have plans to collect more traffic data on 

local roads. Soon local roads will be segmented to help pin point crash locations. PennDOT has already 

started to collect more local road traffic volumes to help expand HSM based network screening efforts. Also, 

PennDOT PCIT tool does allow the public to see where crashes occurred on a local road through a new map 

feature. These new lists were provided to LTAP and the PennDOT Engineering districts to determine better 

locations for local safety improvements.

PennDOT is currently working with LTAP and the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors 

(PSATS) to conduct technical reviews on local roads which can result in a low-cost safety project. PennDOT 

provides direction for the studies which are conducted by LTAP staff. The studies result in a report that has an 

itemized list of safety countermeasures ready for a construction contract or force account work. PennDOT is 

currently working on a contract to implement safety improvements in 8 different municipalities in western 

Pennsylvania. Other local safety studies have been conducted or they are in process in other parts of the state 

for future local safety projects. So far 23 PennDOT Directed Technical Assist Reports have been completed for 

municipalities through this LTAP program.

PennDOT plans to work closely with the FHWA PA Division office over the next year to implement force 

account safety work on local roads.

Locals remain engaged in the enforcement, education and emergency response side of highway safety. These 

behavioral safety efforts are detailed in the Pennsylvania HSP report submitted to NHTSA every year.

PennDOT works with Universities (Academia) to produce research into safety programs. Some recent work 

involved the development of regionalized SPFs. 

FHWA is involved in the HSIP program in all aspects. They provide final approval on HSIP funded projects, 

national guidance for the HSIP funding program, and participate in monthly coordination for all safety related 

topics. 

Gov. Highway Safety Office deals with driver behavior and research aspects of highway safety. This office 

supports the NHTSA grant funded programs. 

Law enforcement & public education partners are involved in many Behavioral safety programs such as 

reducing Impaired driving, increasing seatbelt use, speed enforcement, aggressive driving enforcement, 

reducing districted driving, mature driver safety, motorcycle safety training, young & inexperienced driver 

training, enhancing safety on local roads, and several other topics. 

Local Government Agencies like PSATS and PSABS help provide safety training to municipalities. This is done 

through the Pennsylvania LTAP which uses consultant staff. The LTAP program is administered through a 

contract with PSATS. 

Regional Planning Organizations help to implement HSIP funded projects. 

MAST is a Multi Agency Safety Team that takes the latest SHSP strategies and then coordinates the 

implementation of those strategies. 

Have any program administration practices used to implement the HSIP changed since the last reporting 

period?

Yes

Describe HSIP program administration practices that have changed since the last reporting period.

For the first time PennDOT weighted set aside safety projects based on several factors which included HSM 

analysis results, Benefit cost analysis, total crashes, fatal crashes, injury crashes, whether the project was 

implementing systemic safety improvements and if the project help meet a FAST Act requirement.

Are there any other aspects of HSIP Administration on which the State would like to elaborate?

Yes

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

The HSIP Program fully aligns with the 2017 Pennsylvania Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). 

PennDOT completed its first network screening in all 67 counties in March 2018. The network screening is 

discussed in more detail in other parts of this report.

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

Yes

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

As a state that has always been at the forefront of innovation and industry, it should come as no surprise that 

Pennsylvania is at the very epicenter of the rise in connected and automated vehicle technology. 

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) supports the advancement of automation through 

various ways including the deployment of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) Roadside Units 

(RSUs) at select signalized intersections to enable communications between the vehicles and the 

infrastructure. Currently, there are 54 connected intersections, including 8 in Harrisburg and 24 in Pittsburgh, 

with plans to install an additional 205 by 2021. In 2016, PennDOT formed both the Pennsylvania AV Policy 

Task Force and the Smart Belt Coalition, to ensure Pennsylvania aligns with industry and national best 

practices. The Task Force is made up of a diverse and comprehensive set of stakeholders, including 

representatives from federal, state and local government, law enforcement, technology companies, higher 

education, manufacturers, motorists and trucking groups, and academic research institutions. The Smart Belt 

Coalition is a a first-of-its-kind collaboration between PennDOT, PTC, Ohio DOT, the Ohio Turnpike, and 

Michigan DOT and universities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan with a focus on automated and connected 

vehicle initiatives. 

PennDOT has also been active in national efforts to develop uniform standards and practices for automated 

vehicles. With the pace of automated vehicle innovation accelerating, Transportation Secretary Leslie S. 

Richards challenged PennDOT to take action to sustain Pennsylvania’s leadership in automated vehicle 

research, while simultaneously ensuring that public safety remains the paramount priority as HAVs are tested 

on the roadways. After meeting with numerous stakeholders including more than a dozen automated vehicle 

testers, PennDOT issued Highly Automated Vehicle (HAV) Testing Guidelines on July 24, 2018. Aligning with 

NHTSA direction, the guidelines focus on the human safety driver and training and not the operation of the 

vehicle. 

In Spring 2018, PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, and Penn State University have partnered 

to develop PennSTART, a state-of-the-art training and testing facility to address the transportation safety and 

operational needs of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic Region. PennSTART will address safety training and 

research needs in six key areas: traffic incident management (TIM); connected and automated vehicles; tolling 

and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technology; work zones; commercial vehicles; and transit vehicles. 

Connected and automated vehicle technologies will change the transportation decision-making process 

throughout Pennsylvania. To ensure Pennsylvania stays at the forefront, PennDOT is actively working to 

educate key stakeholders and the public about the impact and benefits of this emerging technology. PennDOT 

has arrange for connected and automated vehicle demonstrations to key transportation and Legislative 

officials. Over 200 riders had an opportunity to experience first-hand the capabilities of connected and 

automated vehicles, including Governor Tom Wolf, members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate 

Transportation Committees, PennDOT Secretary Leslie Richards, and various local officials. The 

demonstration allowed participants to develop an understanding of how technological advances are being 

adapted and implemented in this rapidly advancing field here in Pennsylvania. In April 2018 PennDOT 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 29 of 87

organized in Pittsburgh its second summit for HAVs. There were 400+ attendees with topics focusing on three 

themes: safety, infrastructure planning, workforce & economic development. The two overarching goals were 

to encourage interchange and collaboration between stakeholders and long-term public acceptance of vehicle

automation

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.

PennDOT accomplished two major improvements toward implementing the Highway Safety Manual in the

State’s HSIP. One was the creation of our new Publication 638A, Pennsylvania Safety Predictive Analysis 

Methods Manual , or SPAMM . This new publication is available on PennDOT’s website for anyone to view. 

The manual is intended to be a reference for someone that attended a PennDOT HSM class and is now ready 

to perform safety analysis. The SPAMM covers all of Pennsylvania’s regionalized SPFs. The Manual provides 

clear definitions for common HSM terms and then displays every PA regionalized SPF Formula separated by 

highway facility type in easy to use tables. 

The second major accomplishment was the development of the new HSM based County Network Screening 

Analysis spreadsheets and GIS maps in March 2018. These spreadsheets evaluated segments and 

intersections located in all 67 counties. There are two spreadsheets for each county. One covers intersections 

and the other covers segments. Each spreadsheet has two tabs. One for “Rural” segments or intersections and 

one for “Urban” segments or intersections. While a fair number of counties have a balance of rural and urban 

segment and intersection locations, some counties may only have urban (Philadelphia) and others only have 

rural (Forest) locations based on demographics. The goal was to have about 120 segments and 160 

intersections evaluated in each county (Urban & Rural combined). Some counties due to their rural nature will 

be below that number. Other counties due to their vast highway network will be above the 120 and 160 

number. The County Network Screening Analysis for segments and intersections does not include freeways, 

ramps, ramp terminals and roundabouts since Pennsylvania does not have Freeway SPFs or calibration 

factors for the AASHTO HSM SPFs. At this time, there are also no SPFs for Roundabouts. These segments 

and intersections are for conventional highways and intersections. The segment and intersection locations 

have been sorted to show the locations’ “Excess” value, also known as Potential for Safety Improvement (PSI). 

This value is the “Expected crash frequency value” minus the “Predicted crash frequency value”. Any location 

above zero shows the location has a higher crash frequency than the predicted models for a similar roadway 

facility type. A higher positive PSI value shows a location has more potential for safety improvement than a 

location with a lower value. Any location with a value below zero shows the location has a crash frequency 

below the predicted model. 

The Network Screenings do not show what countermeasure(s) should be used for any specific segment or 

intersection location. A more in-depth traffic engineering and safety study would need to be completed to 

determine the crash trends and the suitable safety improvements. The Intersection and segment network 

screening lists and maps should be used when evaluating highway locations for safety. These network 

screenings are not limited to only aiding in HSIP and LCSIP project selection. The network screening lists and 

maps can and are used the same way a location’s crash rate is compared to Homogenous crash rates for 

studies, HOPs, standard design projects safety assessments, and other such uses. This is a big step forward 

in highway safety for Pennsylvania. 

We do have other HSM work in progress. One of those other projects involves the calibration of the AASHTO 

HSM’s 2014 supplement for Freeways, ramps, and ramp terminals. PennDOT is currently working with 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 30 of 87

consultants to complete this effort by November 2018. Once completed this will provide a much more accurate 

way to access freeway and ramp facilities for safety. This will also allow an expansion of our network 

screening. 

The second ongoing project is the development of SPFs for collector roadways in Urban and suburban areas. 

During the network screening analysis described above, PennDOT saw that to complete a good network 

screening it was necessary to develop collector roadway SPFs. Currently the AASHTO HSM does not have 

anything for urban/suburban collector roadways. Once completed this will result in better safety analysis and 

allow for more accurate and expanded network screening. 

Third, PennDOT developed a new ICE policy. With this development, a tool similar to the national SPICE tool 

was developed for Pennsylvania. 

Finally, PennDOT continues to offer a PennDOT specific HSM class. The class is 1 1⁄2 days long. The class is 

taught by national experts from Kittelson Associates. The class teaches both the national and state SPF 

models and provides an entire afternoon of hands on use of PennDOT’s HSM analysis tool. 

PennDOT will continue to encourage and enhance the use of the Highway Safety Manual.

Have any program methodology practices used to implement the HSIP changed since the last reporting 

period?

Yes

Describe program methodology practices that have changed since the last reporting period.

As mentioned in question 19, PennDOT has developed new HSM network screenings which will be used to 

help identify locations for safety improvements. For more detail see question #19. PennDOT is also updating 

our Publication 638, The District Highway Safety Guidance Manual . The update will add a new HSIP project 

selection chapter and revise the criteria for selecting candidate locations, require a BCA for each project, and 

require more HSM based alternative analysis for project applications. PennDOT is also in the process of 

researching our intersections with speed limits of 40 or 45 mph on either approach to the signalized 

intersection. Our goal is to determine speed management countermeasures that can be applied to the 

signalized intersections to reduce the fatal and serious injuries. PennDOT is also investigating why some HSIP 

intersection projects are showing low or negative safety benefit returns based on a BCA. This analysis will 

hopefully provide guidance to identify the short falls of these projects and help PennDOT better identify quality 

projects.

Are there any other aspects of the HSIP methodology on which the State would like to elaborate?

No

Pennsylvania sets aside $10 million dollars of state transportation maintenance funds every year for safety 

improvements on state highways. The NTSHA penalty funds and the RHCP funds are reported on in different 

reports. Those programmed and obligated fund numbers can be found in those respective reports. We are also

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

There are a few Engineering Districts that have struggled in the project development of HSIP funded safety 

projects. This results in several projects missing let dates and HSIP funds not being used for those projects in 

the planned years. To overcome these project delivery issues, the Highway Safety Section is working with

PennDOT's Bureau of Project Delivery to track the milestones of HSIP projects to ensure design project 

managers stay on schedule to deliver good safety improvement projects on time. A District's past project 

delivery track record may become part of a weighted criteria for HSIP set aside project selection. PennDOT 

may also pursue a different funding allocation based less on regional boundaries. 

Local projects using HSIP funds are difficult to deliver in Pennsylvania due to legal agreements that need to be

created for allowing work to be completed on local roads, maintenance responsibility, right to know laws, and 

the lack of an HSIP force account option. Many municipal governments also lack the ability to develop a project 

or construct safety projects. Implementing systemic projects on local levels usually results in very low cost 

projects that are hard to bid and requires adding several municipalities that might cross Engineering 

boundaries to have a large enough project that contractors will bid on and have a reasonable price. This adds 

to the difficulty in project development. PennDOT is exploring options to better address safety concerns on 

local roads where there are known fatal and serious injuries. 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 33 of 87

We are also in the process of revising our District Highway Safety Guidance Manual (Publication 638) which 

will provide updated HSIP funding guidance.

Does the State want to elaborate on any other aspects of it’s progress in implementing HSIP projects?

Yes

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

would like to elaborate. 

PennDOT is now rating location specific projects based on the perceived benefit to cost ratio using a net 

present value calculation and benefit to cost ratio. This has led to more partially HSIP funded projects than in 

previous years. Any new projects submitted for a spot location should show a 1:1 or better B/C ratio. This will 

also allow HSIP funds to be used on other projects where partial funding can be used to implement safety 

improvements. We are also updating our HSIP project selection policy through our updates to PennDOT 

Publication 638. The changes will force more predictive analysis when selecting projects. At a minimum, CMFs 

will need to be used to show the expected benefits. 

Currently the Department is creating network screening lists for all 67 counties in Pennsylvania. These 

highway safety priority lists will be developed using the Highway Safety Manual's analysis method of Excess 

Expected Average Crash Frequency with Empirical Bayes (EB) adjustments also known as Potential for Safety 

Improvement (PSI). This method will use the calculated Expected crashes for a location and subtract the 

Predicted crashes for that same location to produce a value. All locations will have that calculated difference 

value ordered highest to lowest. Any value above zero shows a potential for safety improvement over the 

state’s predicted annual crashes for that category of roadway or intersection. Locations that have a value 

below zero will be marked with black cells with white text on the final display on the final analysis lists. The 

Department is using the Pennsylvania Regionalized Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) and cluster lists to 

develop the following types of lists:

• Urban Intersections

• Rural intersections

• Urban Segments

• Rural Segments

The lists exclude ramps, ramp terminal locations and expressways since Pennsylvania does not have 

regionalized SPFs for freeways, ramps, or ramp terminals. Also, existing roundabouts will also be excluded 

since no SPFs are available for roundabouts. The lists will use the formulas for all crashes, not just the Fatal & 

Injury formulas. 

The work is being completed with Department staff and consultant support. In some situations, a county may 

not have extensive cluster lists for one of the four categories due to the location’s demographics. An example 

is Philadelphia. We would not expect to have rural classifications for most highways in Philadelphia. Nor would 

we expect to have many urban highways in a rural county like Cameron County.

The information needed to calculate accurate predicted and expected crash frequencies are in the 

Pennsylvania State University’s Regionalized Safety Performance Functions final report from January 2016. 

Roadway data is obtained from PennDOT databases like ITMS, video log, and other readily available 

PennDOT resources. The Department is also using Google Earth for gathering some roadway data like 

driveway densities. Curve data is being obtained from PennDOT’s new horizontal curve database developed 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 34 of 87

by J.D. Kronicz. Since traffic volumes are necessary for the HSM evaluations, PennDOT has contracted with a 

consultant to collect traffic volumes for approximately 4000 local highways. 

This detailed network screening will be used to help select the best locations for HSIP funded safety projects. 

In total this network screening will cover about 20,000 locations.

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

The number of serious injuries increased significantly after 2015 due to the change in definition/title from 

"Major Injury" to the MMUCC compliant "Suspected Serious Injury". This change also had a significant impact 

on the serious injury rate and non-motorized serious injury performance measures above.

Describe fatality data source.

Pennsylvania does not have crash data for "Rural Principal Arterial - Other Freeways and Expressways".

Also Urban Collector is not broken down by Major and Minor. Data for all Urban Collectors is reflected in the 

"Urban Major Collector" field.

Are there any other aspects of the general highway safety trends on which the State would like to 

elaborate?

Yes

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

Both the number of Pennsylvania residents and licensed drivers ages 65 and over have increased consistently 

since 2010. These trends have a significant impact on the special rule for drivers/pedestrians ages 65 and over 

(Question #38).

The number of serious injuries significantly increased after 2015 due to both the change in definition and the 

new title of this injury type. 2016 crash data included the change from "Major Injury" to the MMUCC compliant 

"Suspected Serious Injury". Based on this we would expect this trend to continue for the next 3 years.

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2019 Targets * 

Number of Fatalities 1146.3 

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

In October 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

committed to eliminate traffic deaths within 30 years. Pennsylvania’s 2017 SHSP has 

adopted a goal to support this national effort. This ambitious timeline will rely heavily 

on the implementation of autonomous vehicle technology, anticipated between 2025 

and 2030. Pennsylvania’s current target is to reduce 2017 fatalities by two percent per 

year through 2019. The target shown above (1,146.3) is the five-year rolling average 

for 2015-2019. This goal was established in conjunction with our Federal partners 

based on a combination of reviewing Pennsylvania’s historical data and observations 

of national trends and reduction in fatalities over the next 30 years will not be linear. 

This is based on actual fatal crash data from 2015 to 2017 and estimated fatal crash 

data in 2018 and 2019 assuming a 2% reduction each year. 

Number of Serious Injuries 3971.2 

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

Pennsylvania’s current target is to reduce 2017 serious injuries by two percent per year 

through 2019. The target shown above (3,971.2) is the five-year rolling average for 

2015-2019. This goal was established in conjunction with our Federal partners based 

on a combination of reviewing Pennsylvania’s historical data and observations of 

national trends and reduction in serious injuries over the next 30 years will not be 

linear. This goal is affected by the required definition change in suspected serious 

injuries per the FAST Act. PA's first year using the new Suspected serious injury 

criteria was 2016. So in 2020 we will have the first year where all suspected serious 

injury crash data will be under the same definition rule. 

Fatality Rate 1.121 

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

The target shown above (1.121) is calculated using the 2015-2019 five-year rolling 

average for fatalities shown in the first metric and applying an estimated growth rate 

of 1% per year for vehicle miles traveled. The actual 2017 VMT came in below the 

project 1% growth. To be consistent with the HSP report sent to NHTSA, the Fatality 

rate calculation was kept the same and uses two projected years of VMT data in 2017 

and 2018 instead of actual 2017 VMT data. 

Serious Injury Rate 3.883 
2018 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 58 of 87

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

The target shown above (3.883) is calculated using the 2015-2019 five-year rolling 

average for serious injuries shown in the second metric and applying an estimated 

growth rate of 1% per year for vehicle miles traveled. To be consistent with the HSP 

report sent to NHTSA, the serious injury rate calculation was kept the same and uses 

two projected years of VMT data in 2017 and 2018 instead of actual 2017 VMT data. 

Total Number of Non-Motorized 

Fatalities and Serious Injuries 698.4 

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

Pennsylvania’s current target is to reduce 2017 non-motorized fatalities and serious 

injuries by two percent per year through 2019. The target shown above (698.4) is the 

five-year rolling average for 2015-2019. This goal was established in conjunction with 

our Federal partners based on a combination of reviewing Pennsylvania’s historical 

data and observations of national trends.

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

targets. 

In Pennsylvania stake holder coordination is accomplished in a couple different ways. One of the most direct 

ways is that the State Highway Safety Office is part of PennDOT’s Highway Safety Section. The crash data 

unit, safety engineering unit, and the behavioral grants unit are all under on section chief. This helps keep a 

coordinated safety approach to the four E’s of safety.

Other coordination includes a quarterly TRCC meeting. This helps many different people stay coordinated on 

data issues and allows for collaboration in developing TRCC funded projects to improve highway safety.

As a follow-up to the Pennsylvania SHSP, PennDOT and other state agency partners like state police, dept. of 

health, Dept. of Education, the Liquor Control Board, and others meet every two months. Also in attendance 

are some federal partners like FHWA and NHTSA. This group is called the Multi Agency Safety Taskforce or 

MAST. The group was established over a decade ago and has changed to meet the needs of the new SHSP. 

This group discusses the focus areas of the 2017 SHSP and determines who needs to lead the effort to 

achieve certain goals in a focus area. The group then hears updates on progress made and what needs to 

change or continue to decrease highway injuries and fatalities.

Last, PennDOT has formed a safety planning group that meets every quarter. This group consists of PennDOT 

central office planning staff, central office safety staff, FHWA Division office staff, PennDOT engineering district 

staff, and also some MPO/RPO staff. The group discusses topics about the HSIP program, new data driven 

safety analysis (DDSA), and other topics as necessary.

Does the State want to report additional optional targets?

These numbers reflect the count of drivers and pedestrians ages 65 and over and not all persons involved in 

the crash.

Both the number of Pennsylvania residents and licensed drivers ages 65 and over have increased consistently 

since 2010. This increase has a significant impact on the number of Older Driver and Pedestrian 

Fatalities/Serious Injuries.

The number of serious injuries significantly increased after 2015 due to both the change in definition and the 

new title of this injury type. 2016 crash data included the change from "Major Injury" to the MMUCC compliant 

"Suspected Serious Injury".

Noticeable differences from previous years appear for this injury severity although the definition did not 

drastically change. 

Starting in 2017, the Impaired Driver Crash flag began using drug test results in combination with alcohol and 

drug use suspicion to provide additional accuracy. 

The numbers for "Older Drivers" reflect the count of all persons involved in a crash with a driver aged 65 or 

older. These numbers will differ from question #38.

Young & Inexperienced Drivers includes drivers 16-20 years old

Speeding and Aggressive Driving includes numbers from Speeding Related (speeding, driving too fast for 

conditions, or police chase) crashes

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

From 2002 to 2014 the HSIP program has shown an overall 2.19:1 benefit to cost. We are now at 96 lives saved from the HSIP programmed projects. Next year the program should exceed 100 lives saved. Please note that Pennsylvania 

updated our crash definitions in 2016 to the new MMUCC 5th edition standards per the FAST Act requirements. This definition change has resulted adding crashes to the serious injury category that were once a lower injury classification. 

Because of this, we have shown a negative trend in serious injury crashes in the 2013 and 2014 projects. That is why the 3 years before and after analysis for the projects completed in 2014 show a 0.03:1 benefit ratio. We did reduce 

fatalities at these project locations by 3 total. The 4 years before and after analysis for the 2013 HSIP projects show a -1.10:1 dis-benefit. There was an increase of 3 fatalities and also and increase of 13 suspected serious injuries. Again, 

the suspected serious injuries count increase likely has been influenced by the crash term changes for suspected serious injuries.

Are there any other aspects of the overall HSIP effectiveness on which the State would like to elaborate?

Yes

Describe any other aspects of HSIP effectiveness on which the State would like to elaborate.

Overall Pennsylvania has seen another reduction in highway fatalities resulting in our lowest numbers since the fatality data has been recorded. This has been accomplished through many different approaches targeting problematic crash 

areas as well as systemic deployment of proven countermeasures.

Pennsylvania has no "State" Local Paved Roads

Segment Identifier - We have defined segments for 100% of Liquid Fuels local roads. We expect to have 100% of the segments defined for non Liquid Fuels roads by the end of 2018.

Urban Rural designation - This is collected for every state road segment. Local roads determine urban/rural based on the municipality code.

Intersection/ Junction Traffic Control - PennDOT's Traffic Signal Asset Management System (TSAMS) currently stores all signalized intersections in PA including the city of Philadelphia.

AADT/AADT Year - This is collected for 100% of the state roads. We have collected approximately 10% of this information for local roads.

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.

PennDOT is using HSIP set-aside funds and consultant support to help meet the requirement. This past fall/winter we collected traffic volumes at approximately 4,000 local-state road intersections.

PennDOT is also progressing towards a linear referencing system for local roads. PennDOT’s local road network is complete for all 77,718 miles of liquid fuel payment eligible roads and has been linked to our oracle database. We are 

continuing to work on integrating the local roads that are ineligible for liquid fuel payments. We have 46 counties integrated currently and are in process of QA/QC. The remaining 21 counties are scheduled to be integrated by September 

2018. Once this occurs, we will be in full QA/QC mode for the non-liquid fuels payment roads throughout the state.

PennDOT plans on completing this by September 2026. Since this mandate requires a large spectrum of different PennDOT bureaus/divisions and IT services, there is not a lead group established to implement this federal requirement. 

To just collect local roadway traffic volumes will cost at least $18 million. This does not include a recollection of traffic data which would add to the cost. Expanding the traffic counts on local roads is currently being funded with $2 million of 

HSIP funds in FFY 19 and again in FFY 20. The additional cost for data integration and necessary IT upgrades to handle this FAST Act requirement are much higher. These costs could be around $50 million or higher. We are currently 

trying to find a way to fund this mandate over the next 8 years. 

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.

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

No

When does the State plan to complete it’s next HSIP program assessment.

2022 

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

PennDOT and the FHWA PA Division office completed a HSIP program assessment during 2017. The final report was completed on July 26, 2017. We have been in contact with the PA Division office to update them on action items 

identified in the action plan. PennDOT is not able to upload that Program assessment report and follow up correspondence into the HSIP ORT since the ORT question does not allow for a file upload.

The paper clip for this section was used to attach the plan. In the future the FHWA should allow the plan to be uploaded as part of this question like other parts of the ORT allow for other topics. (10/1/2018)
