Executive Summary

This annual report has been prepared by Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Traffic Safety Section (TSS) 

based on best available data and information collected from various internal and external sources. 

Arizona DOT is continuing to make progress in the HSIP implementation on all public roads statewide. ADOT-TSS 

has been leading the efforts to deliver the HSIP program. ADOT Local Public Agency (LPA) Section tracks local HSIP 

funded projects and works with stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery. Apart from core HSIP funded 

projects, High Risk Rural Roads Program (HRRRP) was implemented to the extent projects were eligible and 

justified. Road Safety Assessment (RSA) program is very well established with several successful RSAs conducted 

within State, city/town, county and tribal jurisdictions. Many of the safety projects funded through HSIP were 

developed based on the RSA recommendations. 

Arizona SHSP is currently being updated to reflect MAP-21 requirements and FHWA guidance.

Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

progress in achieving safety performance targets, and assessment of the 

effectiveness of the improvements. 

Program Structure

Program Administration

How are Highway Safety Improvement Program funds allocated in a State? 

Central

District

Other

Describe how local roads are addressed as part of Highway Safety Improvement Program. 

Eighty percent (80%) of Arizona’s HSIP funds are set aside for statewide safety projects and twenty percent (20%) 

for local government after 10% Flex funds has been removed per MAP-21. This 80/20 split was adopted to address 

traffic safety on all public roads with both ADOT and local agencies (Council of Governments (COGs), Metropolitan 

Planning Organizations (MPOs), cities, towns, counties and tribal agencies). This split is being re-evaluated as part 

of the SHSP update process and per MAP-21 legislation. As ADOT and local government agencies identify high 

crash locations using any acceptable screening method and develop safety improvement projects, ADOT reviews 

them on a statewide basis and prioritize projects for funding eligibility. ADOT LPA, in consultation with MPOs and 

COGs, provides assistance to local agencies throughout the process of identifying and developing the projects.

Other: Other-ADOT Traffic Safety Section (TSS) and Local Public Agency Section (LPAS)

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners. 

Safety analyses begin with the compilation and correlation of data elements on a statewide system. Coordination 

takes place within ADOT including the State Engineer’s Office, the Director’s Office, Project Managers, District 

Engineers and others involved in safety projects. Once the project is identified, depending on the nature of the 

project, justification of HSIP funding through evaluation and formal eligibility process is established by ADOT and 

FHWA Arizona Division Office.

Application of Special Rules

Present the rate of traffic fatalities and serious injuries per capita for drivers and pedestrians over the 

age of 65.

*Performance measure data is presented using a five-year rolling average.

Formula used in the calculation of Fatality (F) and Serious Injury (SI) Rate per Capita 

(an example for 2009 rate calculation):

F+SI 2009 Rate =

(F+SI 2009 Drivers and Pedestrians 65 years of age and older/2009 Population 

Figure*) + (F+SI 2008 Drivers and Pedestrians 65 years of age and older /2008 

Population Figure) + (F+SI 2007 Drivers and Pedestrians 65 years of age and 

older/2007 Population Figure) + (F+SI 2006 Drivers and Pedestrians 65 years of age 

and older/2006 Population Figure) + (F+SI 2005 Drivers and Pedestrians 65 years of 

age and older/2005 Population Figure) / 5

Applying the above equation given in Special Rule Attachment 1 yields the following:

2009 Value = 452/131 +476/133 + 490/129 + 477/128 + 459/126)/5 = 18.20/5 = 3.64

2011 Value = 465/142 + 420/138 + 452/131 +476/133 + 490/129 = 17.15/5 = 3.43

Change = -0.21 use: -0.2 Special rule does not apply to the State of Arizona in FFY14.

2010 Value = 420/138 + 452/131 +476/133 + 490/129 + 477/128 = 17.60/5 = 3.52

2012 Value = 439/148 + 465/142 + 420/138 + 452/131 +476/133 = 16031/5 = 3.26

Change = -0.26 use: -0.3 Special rule does not apply to the State of Arizona in FFY15.

Glossary

5 year rolling average means the average of five individual, consecutive annual points of data (e.g. 

annual fatality rate).

Emphasis area means a highway safety priority in a State’s SHSP, identified through a data-driven, 

collaborative process. 

Highway safety improvement project means strategies, activities and projects on a public road that are 

consistent with a State strategic highway safety plan and corrects or improves a hazardous road location 

or feature or addresses a highway safety problem. 

HMVMT means hundred million vehicle miles traveled.

Non-infrastructure projects are projects that do not result in construction. Examples of noninfrastructure projects include road safety audits, transportation safety planning activities, 

improvements in the collection and analysis of data, education and outreach, and enforcement 

activities. 

Older driver special rule applies if traffic fatalities and serious injuries per capita for drivers and 

pedestrians over the age of 65 in a State increases during the most recent 2-year period for which data 

are available, as defined in the Older Driver and Pedestrian Special Rule Interim Guidance dated 

February 13, 2013. 

Performance measure means indicators that enable decision-makers and other stakeholders to monitor 

changes in system condition and performance against established visions, goals, and objectives.

Programmed funds mean those funds that have been programmed in the Statewide Transportation 

Improvement Program (STIP) to be expended on highway safety improvement projects.

Roadway Functional Classification means the process by which streets and highways are grouped into 

classes, or systems, according to the character of service they are intended to provide.

Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) means a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary plan, based on safety 

data developed by a State Department of Transportation in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 148. 

Systemic safety improvement means an improvement that is widely implemented based on high risk 

roadway features that are correlated with specific severe crash types. 

Transfer means, in accordance with provisions of 23 U.S.C. 126, a State may transfer from an 

apportionment under section 104(b) not to exceed 50 percent of the amount apportioned for the fiscal 

year to any other apportionment of the State under that section.
