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. 

Strategic Transportation Investments Division

Local Road Safety Initiative

Addresses a variety of safety concerns for non-interstate and state route segments located outside an urban 

and MPO boundary experiencing crash rates higher than statewide averages.

Qualifying criteria:

The location cannot exist within the area represented by a MPO or an urban boundary.

The location must experience a minimum of five (5) crashes with at least one (1) of the crashes classified as a 

severe crash (incapacitating injury crash or fatal crash). 

The location’s calculated severe crash rate must equal or exceed the statewide average severe crash rate for 

similar facilities. 

Ramp Queue Program

Addresses queueing concerns of ramps spilling back onto the main travel lanes of the access control facilities

Qualifying criteria:

Potential ramp queue candidate projects originate from notification of queues at ramp locations made by TDOT 

Headquarter and Region personnel (either randomly or through TDOT’s Annual Queue Inspection), public 

agencies, and the traveling public. For the location to qualify for the Ramp Queue Program, photographic 

evidence of the ramp’s queue spilling back into the main travel lanes of the access controlled facility must be 

obtained by TDOT or provided by others to TDOT. It should be noted that crash related criteria is not 

associated with qualification. 

Pedestrian Road Safety Initiative 

The Pedestrian Road Safety Initiative (PRSI) goal is to create safer roadways for pedestrians.

The Pedestrian Road Safety Initiative (PRSI) objective is to reduce the number of fatal and severe pedestrian 

crashes by identifying safety concerns and implementing countermeasures consistent with FHWA’s Pedestrian 

Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System (PEDSAFE) and FHWA's Safe Transportation for Every 

Pedestrian (STEP) Initiative.

Qualifying criteria:

Qualification of a location for this program is based on its score and ranking by the TDOT Pedestrian Safety 

Prioritization Tool. The TDOT Pedestrian Safety Prioritization Tool scores and ranks both high-risk 

intersections and high-risk corridors based on the following criteria: 

• Safety (40%): This component is weighted the highest and includes two items: scoring corridors and 

intersections based on crash frequency and crash severity within the past five years. Highest scores 

are given to locations that have a high number of pedestrian crashes and a high number of severe 

crashes (fatality and serious injury).

• Infrastructure (30%): This component examines the built environment and is a measure of the level of 

pedestrian ease, comfort, and safety. Roadway features included in the analysis are the following:

o Traffic volume (AADT) 

o Speed limits 

o Number of lanes 

o Intersection control type 
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 8 of 71

o Presence of sidewalks and bike lanes

• Equity (15%): This component includes a Statewide Environmental Justice Index and is calculated

using nine criteria acquired from American Community Survey (ACS) 2018 5-year estimates. Each

environmental justice category is calculated as the percent of the total population for a given Block

Group and the average of those percentages is calculated for a raw EJ score. This score is normalized

1 – 5. Populations include the following:

o Youth under 18

o Populations 65+

o Minority

o Hispanic

o No Car Households

o Below Poverty

o Less than High School Diploma

o Low-Proficiency English-Speaking

o Persons with Disabilities

• Pedestrian Demand (15%): This component is a weighted composite of various geospatial features

that reflect a high concentration of pedestrian trip generators and attractors. The features include the

following:

o Population density

o Employment density

o Active commuters (walk, bike, transit to work)

o Points of interest (parks, recreation, businesses, hospitals, schools)

o Land use

o Access to transit (when applicable in urban areas)

Pedestrian Road Safety Initiative (PRSI) - ADA improvements

The program goal is to make roadways safer for all pedestrians including those with disabilities. Therefore 

when pedestrians facilities are added or modified, the improvements must meet ADA Guidelines for Public 

Rights-of-Way (PROWAG). PRSI projects have included scope of work to upgrade non-complaint curb ramps 

and non-compliant pedestrian signals and pushbuttons.

Spot Safety Program

Addresses specific safety concerns identified by Regional request and approved by the Spot Safety Committee

Qualifying Criteria:

Candidate projects identified by a Spot Safety Request from the Regional Traffic Engineers (RTE’s) are 

evaluated on a case by case basis. All requests are presented to a Spot Safety Committee for initial approval. 

The projects initially approved by the committee must then receive final approval by the Chief Engineer prior to 

inclusion into the Spot Safety Program.

Crash related statistical data is the driving force behind the qualification of project locations for all programs. 

Safety data related tasks and activities are performed by the Safety Data Section within STID. The primary 

function of the Safety Data Section are to analyze crash data to determine if a candidate location meets criteria 

for inclusion in a STID program. Additionally, the Safety Data Section processes the crash data transfers from 

the Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s Tennessee Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN) 

database into TRIMS (Tennessee Roadway Inventory Management System).

Pedestrian Accessibility Ramps - Resurfacing program

Existing pedestrian ramps which do not currently comply with dimensional requirements, as identified in
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 9 of 71

PROWAG Guidelines, will be removed and replaced with upgrades. This systemic application of installations 

provides proper and safer pedestrian access at all locations - PROWAG-compliant. These upgrades 

implemented statewide, within the resurfacing program, provide time and cost savings and benefit the 

vulnerable user.

Resurfacing Program 

The resurfacing program utilizes a checklist for safety countermeasures which can be implemented in the 

process of resurfacing. These qualified items are funded with HSIP funds. 

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT? 

 Engineering

How are HSIP funds allocated in a State? 

• SHSP Emphasis Area Data 

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

The Local Road Safety Initiative was developed in 2010 to identify and address safety concerns on local roads. 

This program is focused on local non-state route segments located outside of an urban boundary and not 

represented by a MPO. Routes considered under this program are classified as rural major collectors, rural 

minor collectors, or rural local routes. All candidate locations for this program are selected using a data driven 

process with set qualification criteria. The LRSI was originally initiated by TDOT Traffic Operations Division. 

STID assumed oversight of the program in 2015, including projects currently under development. 83 counties 

are eligible for LRSI. All routes are identified by the TDOT Project Safety Office and are presented to local 

stakeholders based on severity. Each county receives up to $300,000 for the construction of safety 

improvements.

Criteria used for LRSI:

Most current 6 years of crash data

1 Fatal or 1 Incapacitating minimum

Total Crashes > 5

Severe crash rate > statewide average severe crash rate

Crash rate > statewide average crash rate

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

Bureaus, Divisions) are involved with HSIP planning.

• Design

• Districts/Regions

• Maintenance

• Operations

• Planning

• Traffic Engineering/Safety

Describe coordination with internal partners.

The Strategic Transportation Investments Division Project Safety Office (PSO) works with:

• Design Division and STID Design- to coordinate projects that may involve work outside the existing 

right of way and when implementing safety countermeasures that require a design component.

• Districts/Regions - TDOT is divided into 4 regional offices. The PSO involves each region when an 

HSIP project is being developed in their region.

• Traffic/Engineering & Operations - Coordinate and implement projects when signals and/or 

operations countermeasures are part of an HSIP project.

• Planning - The Office of Community Transportation (OCT) for projects that are within an MPO/TPO 

and any rural planning organizations.

• Maintenance - The Maintenance Division identifies low cost safety improvements on resurfacing 

projects.

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)

Describe coordination with external partners.

The Strategic Transportation Investments Division Project Safety Office (PSO) works with:

Academia/University - Assists with research projects to further develop and implement the Highway Safety 

Manual (HSM) for statewide development of Crash Modification Factors (CMF's).

FHWA - Provides stewardship and oversight of HSIP program and the SHSP.

Tennessee Highway Safety Office - Work with to address driver behavior emphasis area of the SHSP.

Law Enforcement Agencies - Critical stakeholder of all HSIP programs. Works closely with TDOT to maintain 

quality crash data through Tennessee Integrated Traffic Analysis Network (TITAN).

Local Government Agencies - Critical stakeholder of all HSIP projects that involve a locally owned or 

maintained facility.

Regional Planning Organizations (RPO'S) / Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO's) - Critical 

stakeholder of all HSIP programs. Tennessee has 11 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO's) and 12 

Rural Planning Organizations (RPO's). The Project Safety Office coordinates safety projects with these 

organizations when a project location falls within their jurisdiction. 

The Strategic Highway Safety Plan brings together TDOT, FHWA, TN Dept. of Safety and Homeland 

Security, TN Highway Patrol, TN Highway Safety Office, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, MPO's, 

TN Regional Safety Council, TN Transportation Assistance Program, and the American Automobile 
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

Association (AAA). The emphasis areas in the SHSP are directly addressed with projects developed in the 

HSIP program. The Strategic Highway Safety Plan Committee meets quarterly.

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

elaborate. 

Tennessee has several noteworthy practices:

1. The Road Safety Audit report is written with enough detail that the report itself is used as the construction 

plans when the project is bid out for contract. These are called “no plans contracts”.

2. Several safety projects are bundled together and let as one safety project. This allows TDOT to award 

several projects for construction at one time and receive better bid prices on the safety projects.

3. The Local Roads Safety Initiative targets safety projects on local roads in rural counties that have limited 

access to resources, only counties, or sections of counties, not represented by a MPO. The entire project, from 

road safety audit review to construction, is completed by TDOT.

4. Since 2008, HSIP funds have been used on safety improvements for resurfacing projects. Safety 

improvements include rumble strips/stripes, guardrail, shoulder widening, and the use of the Safety Edge.

5. In order to identify crash data on local roads, TDOT updated the Tennessee Roadway Identification 

Management System (TRIMS) to include local roadway data elements. This project was completed in April 

2012.

6. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security and the Tennessee Department of 

Transportation opened the first of its kind training facility in October 2014. The Tennessee Traffic Incident 

Management (TIM) Training Facility will be used to teach best practices for safe, quick clearance of major 

highway incidents.

7. In June 2013, the Protect the Queue campaign was started. This campaign stresses to all TDOT employees 

and partnering agencies the importance of protecting drivers caught in a traffic queue. A training program on 

the most effective queue management techniques was launched. Since the campaign started, from July 2013 

to December 2013 showed a 19% reduction in secondary incidents over the same period in 2012. This 

equates into 20 fewer secondary incidents, and could possibly represent up to four (4) lives saved. TDOT’s 12 

districts dispatch specially equipped “Protect the Queue” (PTQ) trucks when advised of non-recurring traffic 

queues caused by construction,maintenance, special events, or roadway incidents.

8. The Highway Safety Improvement Program Evaluation Project received a 2017 National Roadway Safety 

Award. 

9. Software enhancements have been made or are in the process for improving the quality of crash data. 

TDOT is also in the process of implementing Numetric Sofware (now available through AASHTOWare) for 

much improved data analysis.

10. TDOT received a 2014 National Roadway Safety Award for “The J-Turn Experiment”.

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

For the past 9 years TDOT has been working to understand and adopt Highway Safety Manual processes. 

TDOT has attended peer exchanges in an effort to understand how other states are implementing the HSM.

TDOT has a research project underway with the University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University to 

develop SPF's.

TDOT used the Highway Safety Manual to evaluate previously completed HSIP projects.

The FHWA Office of Safety developed a TDOT DDSA implementation plan with input from TDOT. The plan is 

currently under revision to fit TDOT's purposes.

The goals set forth in the plan are:

Goal 1: Develop improved analyses in a formal safety management process.

Goal 2: Support, expand, and formalize TDOT’s data governance over safety data.

Goal 3: Develop data driven safety analyses supporting Roadway Design Division activities and design-related 

STID analysis and reporting.

Goal 4: Incorporate data driven safety analyses in other TDOT business processes.

TDOT is currently implementing Numetric software to help with implementation of Highway Safety Manual

methods. The software should be available to use in the first quarter 2022.

TDOT has been working with Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee to develop CMF's 

and SPF's for implementation of HSM. In the first or second quarter of 2022 TDOT will implement Numetric 

software to utilize this research in our HSM implementation.

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

• The number of traffic fatalities in Tennessee for 2020 increased marking the 5th consecutive year of

1,000 or more fatalities.

• 2020 fatalities increased 7.4% over the number of fatalities in 2019 even with a significant reduction in

traffic volume due to COVID-19.

• Traffic volume has seen an increase in 2021 back to near the volumes experienced in 2019.

• Continue to see Non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries are seeing an increase nationally as well

as in Tennessee.
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

• Pedestrian focused programs and initiatives are increasing due to the significant increase in nonmotorized fatalities and serious injuries.

• Tennessee’s population grew by 8.9% between 2010 and 2020 according to Census 2020. The

Nashville Metropolitan area showed an increase of 20.9%. National trends show the fastest growth

occurred in the nation’s largest cities.

• The number of highway construction work zones across state is anticipated to increase as IMPROVE

Act projects are implemented.

• Enforcement efforts by police and state troopers are increasing as COVID-19 fears are down from the

peak.

• Progress was made on procuring AASHTOWare Safety software - Implementation will be in the Fall of

2021. The AASHTOWare Safety software will provide data-driven safety analysis consistent with the

Highway Safety Manual (HSM).

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2022 Targets *

Number of Fatalities:1201.4

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

The number of traffic fatalities in Tennessee for 2020 increased marking the 5th consecutive year of 1,000

fatalities or more. According to preliminary data, one thousand two hundred seventeen (1,217) fatalities

occurred during Calendar Year 2020. This marked a 7.4% increase in fatalities over 2019. This increase

occurred despite traffic reductions due to school closures, workforce closures and shifts, and state and local 

policies. The governor issued a Safer at Home 1 executive order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic that was 

in effect from March 31, 2020 to April 30, 2020, though many businesses chose to close or have employees

work from home prior to and after the order expired. Current YTD fatalities as of June 1, 2021, show 114 more

fatalities over the same date in 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in fatal and serious injury crashes. During 2020, Tennessee saw

increases in many types of fatality crashes over 2019. Most notably, fatalities with large trucks involved

increased by 25% likely due to increased freight volumes.2 Further, fatality crashes in urban areas increased

by almost 14% while rural fatality crashes remained consistent with 2019. These changes increased

uncertainty about future fatal and serious injury crash totals as Tennessee continues to recover and traffic

patterns and trends shift.

The Tennessee state legislature passed the 2017 IMPROVE Act requiring TDOT to complete 962 projects over

an unspecified period. Some of the IMPROVE Act projects include safety improvements, however, there is a

lag between the time safety projects are implemented to completion and additional time needed for those

projects to then have an impact on traffic safety. TDOT is hopeful that a long-term transportation bill will be

passed in 2021 which may help to increase the number of projects completed by the end of the performance

period in 2022. 

Work to increase traffic safety in Tennessee is ongoing. Tennessee's Strategic Highway Safety Plan 3 update 

was completed and approved in 2020. Strategies are being implemented in six emphasis areas to reduce

traffic fatalities and serious injuries: data collection and analysis, driver behavior, infrastructure improvements,

vulnerable road users, operational improvements, and motor carrier safety.

Page 52 of 71
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

Targeted safety and enforcement campaigns are being conducted around the state. In January 2021, TDOT 

and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security launched a public safety campaign after

noting the increase in fatalities despite the decrease in traffic.4 The Tennessee Highway Safety Office is 

running a Slow Down Tennessee 5 campaign to highlight the close to 23,000 speed-related crashes that 

occurred between 2017 and 2019.

Targets were set by consensus among working group participants which consisted of members of the

Tennessee Highway Safety Office, TDOSHS, Tennessee Division Office of Federal Highway, and various

divisions within TDOT. Input from the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization, the Greater

Nashville Regional Council, and Bristol Urban Area MPO was included in the target decision making process.

Leadership approved a target of 1,201.4 for the 2018-2022 target setting performance cycle. This target 

assumes that January – May 2021 fatality data will remain as reported in early June and that June – December

data will mimic fatalities from 2020. Fatalities for 2022 are projected as 2019 fatality totals plus the standard 

deviation for each month based on data from 2015-2022.

It is always the intent of the Tennessee Department of Transportation and our partner agencies to reduce 

traffic fatalities on our roadways. These targets are performance projections based on historical data and 

influencing factors.

Number of Serious Injuries:5588.6

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

Tennessee has been experiencing a decrease in serious injuries since 2015 but this decrease has begun to 

stabilize. A 19% decrease in serious injuries occurred in Tennessee from CY 2017 to CY 2018. In compliance 

with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Safety Performance Management Measures Final Rule (23 

CFR 490), Tennessee revised the crash report in December 2017 to reflect the Model Minimum Uniform Crash 

Criteria Fourth Edition (MMUCC 4th edition) "Suspected Serious Injury (A)" attribute found in the "Injury Status"

element. All states were required to comply with the new definition by April 15, 2019. While it is thought that the 

drastic decrease in serious injuries in 2018 is likely an effect of updating the crash report to meet FHWA's

requirement, the number of serious injuries continued to decrease from 2018 to 2019 by 3%. The reduction of

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

Generally, as the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) increases, the opportunity for severe vehicle crashes

to occur also rises. However, 2020 VMT dropped by approximately 8% while traffic fatalities increased by 7%

during the same time period.

Travel trends in the first half of 2021 are comparable to 2019 traffic volumes. However, the lingering impacts of 

COVID-19 may continue to impact traffic volumes for the foreseeable future. A recent article by McKinsey &

Company estimates that 20% of business travel may not return. Further, the same article reports that a survey

of 278 executives representing 8 countries planned to reduce office space by 30%.1

Published VMT from Federal Highway's Office of Highway Policy Information (OHPI) Highway Statistics Series 

Table VM-2 2 were used for calendar years 2019 and prior. TDOT's Long Range Planning Division estimates 

calendar year 2020 VMT at 76,393 million miles. (Note: Because it is anticipated that VMT numbers will

continue to change until published by FHWA, no updates have been made to the agreed upon 2016-2020 

baseline.)

Based on the uncertainty of travel patterns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the team reviewed travel

data available for March, April and early May and considered several scenarios before opting to take an 

optimistic but conservative approach for identifying the fatality rate target. The team estimates Tennessee's

2021 VMT will resemble 2019 data and will increase by 1% in 2022. Once the VMT estimates for calendar

years 2021 and 2022 were agreed upon, the rate was then calculated using the 1,201.4 fatality number target 

to obtain the 1.476 target for the 2018-2022 target setting performance cycle.

Targets were set by consensus among working group participants which consisted of members of the

Total Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries:534.8

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

Over the past decade (2010-2020), the number of non-motorist serious injuries and fatalities decreased an 

average of 3% each year. However, the 5-year moving average has been steadily increasing since the 

average was 432.2 serious injuries and fatalities for the initial baseline reporting period for this measure (2012-

2016). A total of 557 fatalities and serious injuries occurred in 2020 marking the highest number in recent 

years. As of June 1, 2021, there were 3 fewer bicyclist fatalities compared to the same date in 2020 while 

pedestrian fatalities increased by 3.

Projects to widen roadways and maintain wide travel lanes and sight distances have been identified for 

completion within Tennessee. While these projects may be necessary to alleviate congestion or other 

transportation problems, they also tend to decrease safety for pedestrians. To mitigate this, TDOT has started 

a Pedestrian Road Safety Initiative by identifying 12 high pedestrian crash locations, designing safety 

upgrades for these areas and using Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds to employ 

countermeasures at these locations. Several of these projects are planned to be available for bid in 2021. 

TDOT's Multimodal Division has worked with TDOT's Data Visualization office to create an FHWA-approved 

methodology to rank all roads in Tennessee for prioritization. Using the Multimodal Prioritization Tool, the 

Multimodal Division is currently selecting additional pedestrian crash locations for continuing the Pedestrian 

Road Safety Initiative with future upgrades.

TDOT has worked closely with FHWA in its Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) technical 

assistance program. In the last year, TDOT has helped coordinate a Pedestrian Road Safety Audit in Knoxville 

and four STEP workshops on countermeasures to increase pedestrian safety, one in each of TDOT's four 

regions. These countermeasures, approved and promoted by FHWA, are the core of the Pedestrian Road 

Safety Initiative projects mentioned above. Countermeasures include crosswalk visibility enhancements, 

leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs), pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs), pedestrian refuge islands, raised 

crosswalks, road diets, and rectangular rapid-flashing beacons.

TDOT has also been working to develop the Statewide Active Transportation Plan 2 . This plan will provide 

guidance to TDOT staff on how to identify, plan, fund and design infrastructure that allows people to safely 

walk, bicycle, use a wheelchair or use a scooter on Tennessee state roads, whether in stand-alone projects or 

by incorporating these into current TDOT processes, projects and workflow. This plan is expected to be 

completed and ready for implementation by August 31, 2021.

Currently, University of Tennessee Knoxville is conducting a research project: Addressing Traffic Safety to 

Reduce Pedestrian Injuries and Fatalities in Tennessee. This research is expected to analyze pedestrian 

crashes in order to develop a risk-based assessment framework that can aid in evaluating multi-criteria 

decision making. This research project is expected to be completed in early 2022. While implementation of 

survey findings may not impact pedestrian fatalities this performance cycle, it is hoped that this research will 

help decrease future pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

TDOT has awarded 75 Multimodal Access Grants 3 representing over $58 million in state funds since 2014. 

Another 23 projects representing $20 Million has been funded for 2021. Most of these grants cover sidewalk 

and pedestrian improvements, and addressing safety issues is included in the scoring to award applicants. 

While it is expected that projects resulting from the Multimodal Access Grants and Pedestrian Road Safety 

Initiative will be completed by the end of the target setting cycle, TDOT is still projecting that non-motorist 
2021 Tennessee Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 59 of 71

serious injuries and fatalities will remain consistent with 2020's increased non-motorized serious injury and 

fatality number of 557.

Targets were set by consensus among working group participants which consisted of members of the 

Tennessee Highway Safety Office, TDOSHS, Tennessee Division Office of Federal Highway, and various 

divisions within TDOT. Input from the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization, the Greater 

Nashville Regional Council, and Bristol Urban Area MPO was included in the target decision making process.

The working group has selected a target of 534.8 for the 2018-2022 target setting performance cycle. This 

target assumes that the number of non-motorized serious injuries and fatalities for 2020 will remain unchanged 

for 2021 and 2022 despite Tennessee's mitigation efforts.

It is always the intent of the Tennessee Department of Transportation and our partner agencies to reduce 

traffic fatalities and serious injuries for all users of our roadways. These targets are performance projections 

based on historical data and influencing factors.

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

safety performance targets. 

A cross-functional, cross-agency working group was identified to develop targets for the safety performance 

measures. This working group includes members of the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO), 

Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDS&HS), Tennessee Division of Federal Highway 

Administration, and Tennessee Department of Transportation. MPO’s and TPO were invited to participate and 

some of them have participated. The target setting process consisted of data review, trend analysis, 

context/consideration of key factors, and consensus on target setting assumptions, and review and consensus 

on draft targets. The Safety PM Working Group provided recommendations to an Oversight Committee, which 

included directors from the TDOT, TDOS&HS, and THSO.

Does the State want to report additional optional targets? 

No

Describe progress toward meeting the State’s 2020 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.

Serious Injury Rate 7.690 7.940

Non-Motorized Fatalities and 

Serious Injuries

527.2 523.0

Number of Fatalities – The difference between the target of 1043.4 and the actual of 1090.6 is 47.2 (4.5% 

below actual). In 2019 when the Safety PM1 committee selected the target it considered the continuing 

increase in Tennessee population as a factor in increasing crashes. Construction work zones were expected to 

remain high due to the IMPROVE Act which produces funding for more projects, especially bridges. 

Expectations were favorable for reduction in crashes due to the hands-free law which Tennessee passed in 

2019. Additionally, there was a focus on high crash locations utilizing predictive analysis by the Dept. of Safety. 

The new hands-free law or the predictive analysis have not been as effective as expected due to a reduction in 

enforcement because of COVID-19.

Number of Serious Injuries – The difference between the target of 6352.4 and the actual of 6311.6 is 40.8 (less 

than 1% above actual). The actual serious injury number decreased from 2016-2017 and has been decreasing 

in subsequent years. This sudden decrease was attributed to the change in the definition of a suspected 

serious injury from that of an incapacitating injury. Serious injuries have continued to decrease and may also 

be attributable to the change in this definition.

Fatality Rate – The difference between the target of 1.256 and actual of 1.366 is .011 (8.7% below actual). The 

Safety PM1 committee anticipated growth in population and travel in the state and assumed a 1% increase in 

VMT. Even with an increase in VMT the actual rate is higher due to the extreme increase in fatalities.

Serious Injury Rate – The difference between the target of 7.69 and the actual of 7.94 is .25 (3.15% below 

actual). The serious injury rate was calculated based on VMT projections. The reduction in traffic due to 

COVID-19 most likely affected the outcome.

Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries – The difference between the target of 527.2 and actual of 523 is 

4.2 (less than 1% above actual). Non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries saw a rise of 10.5% from 2016 –

2017. The target estimated a 2.5% increase per year. Distracted driving and walking along with being under 

the influence are suspected to be contributing factors.

Evaluation 

Program Effectiveness

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP?

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries

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

the State's program level evaluations.

The Strategic Transportation Investments Division is developing an investigation and project tracking system to 

systematize the investigation and project creation. The system will provide the data needed to actively track 

the performance of each project. The project data will be uploaded to the crash analysis system where tools 

are available to create reports and dashboards for viewing project performance. The performance of the 

project will be measured by comparing the crash activity for the project location prior to the project being 

implemented and after project implementation. The planned system will allow for identifying the best 

performing projects versus the worst performing related to crash activity. AASHTOWare Safety software, being 

implemented now, will be used to evaluate the project locations.

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

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program?

• # RSAs completed

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process

• Increased focus on local road safety

• More systemic programs

• Organizational change

• Other-Improved data collection, transfer, access

• Other-There have been more systemic measures added to the RSA program

Snow plowable pavement markers, rumble strips, spray thermo, and stop controlled intersection 

countermeasures have been added to the RSA program.

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.

The Long Range Planning Division collects all but three of the FDE’s. One data element that has partial collection is (#126 Intersection/Junction Geometry). The other two are #139 Unique Approach Identifier and #182 Interchange Type. 

Long Range Planning anticipates the ability to collect these remaining elements in the short term (1-2 years). There is a software development project underway at TDOT to implement ESRI Roads and Highways. This project includes the 

necessary software development required to store this data along with the other roadway data elements. Data collection for these data elements is in the planning stages.
