Executive Summary

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is pleased to present this 2022 Annual Report of our progress 

with the Highway Safety Improvement Program. In 2021, 1,230 people lost their lives on Pennsylvania's 

roadways. This was an increase of 101 fatalities from the 1,129 fatalities in 2020. While overall fatalities went 

up there were some areas where fatal crashes decreased from the previous year. Those crash types included 

drugged drivers, impaired driver, local road only crashes, and vehicle failure related crashes. Some specific 

areas that fatal crashes increased were unrestrained, motorcyclist, speeding, signalized intersections, 65+ 

year old driver, winter conditions, and lane departures. To reach our ultimate goal of zero deaths on our roads, 

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 is still 

using HSM based network screening to identify locations for safety improvement projects in all 67 counties. 

PennDOT also completed before and after analysis on two countermeasures that are commonly funded with 

HSIP 148 funds. These are adaptive traffic signal controllers (ATSCs) and high tension cable median barriers 

(HTCMB). The ATSCs study was completed by Penn State University and revised previous analysis of ATSCs 

from 2020. With additional years of after data we were able to add more locations. The results of the research 

were close to the previous 2020 research results. For the most part ATSCs are not improving safety in 

Pennsylvania. Crash modification factors developed for the ATSCs showed that overall crashes remained the 

same as before the ATSCs were installed and in some cases they increased. We did see a reduction in rear 

end crashes but an increase in angle crashes. While three leg intersections saw decreases in crashes, the four 

leg intersections saw increases. Three leg intersections accounted for less the 25% of all ATSC intersections 

meaning that 75% of intersections typically saw increases in crashes. So, a decision was made to no longer 

fund ATSCs with HSIP funds this year. The CMFs developed by Penn State University were submitted to the 

CMF Clearinghouse. 

The HTCMB analysis did not use empirical bayes analysis like the ATSCs analysis. The HTCMB analysis used 

a simple before and after crash data analysis method. However, the HTCMB analysis did incorporate crash 

reduction benefit cost vs. installation and maintenance costs. Fifty-one locations across Pennsylvania totaling 

just under 140 miles of HTCMB were analyzed. These locations had HTCMB installed between 2005 to 2014. 

The study showed a significant decrease in cross median crashes and a decrease in crash severities on 

freeways. The results of the study showed a 57:1 benefit cost ratio. An empirical bayes study will be completed 

over the next year to develop Pennsylvania specific CMFs. 

PennDOT is also undertaking a new analysis effort this upcoming year to analyze over 300 high friction surface 

treatment projects and determine the CMFs and the benefit cost. This project will be completed by Penn State 

University. 

Next PennDOT updated our safety analysis tools. PennDOT’s Tool A & B HSM Analysis tools were updated 

with new crash costs and to fix some errors from the major tool updates in the previous year. PennDOT 

continues to use the FHWA’s Countermeasure Service Life Guide that was just published in March 2021 to 

make sure benefit cost analysis is uniform across the state. 

PennDOT once again did not show significant progress in four of the five target metrics established I the FAST 

Act and thus had to complete a HSIP Implementation Plan update. The updated data was submitted to the 

FHWA Division office for review. PennDOT once again hired a consultant team to help review the HSIP 

program’s 2018 competed safety projects. This update reviewed the similar statistics from the first and second 

Implementation Plan and updated the charts, graphs and tables with the new data. The finding of the updated 

Implementation plan really didn’t change in the third edition. We did act on some of the action points from the 

first and second implementation plan. One of those areas was creating a force account policy for municipalities 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

to perform low cost safety improvements on their own roads with their own road crews. This should greatly 

enable systemic based safety improvements to thousands of locations across the Commonwealth. This policy 

is now located in PennDOT Publication 638 chapter 6.

PennDOT updated our State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) in February 2022. The latest version of 

the Pennsylvania SHSP not has three priority Emphasis Areas which are lane departures, pedestrian safety, 

and impaired driving. We still have 18 focus areas which are similar to the previous 2017 SHSP. Lane 

Departures account for one third of our total crashes, but over 50% of our total fatalities warrants our extra 

attention as we aim to reach zero fatalities by the year 2050. The emphasis on pedestrians matches the new 

federal legislation that focuses on vulnerable road users like pedestrians. Finally, the impaired driver fatalities 

and injuries is always a high priority and we will work with our partners in law enforcement, education, and 

emergency response to combat these crashes. Several steering committees made up of a diverse group of 

individuals from different aspects of transportation worked to develop a new SHSP that will push Pennsylvania 

forward in reducing fatal and injury crashes.

While a lot of work remains to reach our goal of reducing highway fatalities to zero by 2050, we remain 

encouraged by the progress that has been made in certain areas 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, predictive analysis 

methods, 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 the FHWA Division office finance team reviews the 

financial documents for completeness. 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. (PennDOT also reviews the effect of common 

location specific projects like adaptive traffic signal controllers.) A network analysis of these systemic 

improvements is completed when there is enough data in a given time span. Currently PennDOT is short on 

staff to do these evaluations, so we have a backlog of research projects. PennDOT has also implemented a 

minimum BCR of 1.0 for spot location safety projects and also requires spot locations to have excess crash 

frequency or excess crash cost frequency above 0.0. . Districts and MPOs are supposed to select locations 

that have a safety need either by using excess crash values or excess crash cost values. 

PennDOT also has a biennial set aside program. Every odd numbered year PennDOT allows the eleven 

engineering Districts and regional planning partners apply for HSIP funds to complete safety projects. The 

projects must use a systemic safety approach and include a HSM analysis and benefit cost analysis. Every 

year $35 million is set aside and every competitive set aside period covers $70 million HSIP funds. 

Pennsylvania's local municipalities may apply for a project through their MPO/RPO. This set aside program is 

now a policy in PennDOT Publication 638. With the increase in funding from the Infrastructure Investment and 

Jobs Act PennDOT will a lot $5 Million more into the set aside funding each year. This will bring the yearly total 

for set aside projects up to $40 million. 

PennDOT created a new process in the fall of 2021 for force account HSIP projects on local roads using local 

municipalities' work forces to complete low cost safety improvements. The new Local Force Account 

Guidelines in PennDOT's Publication 638 chapter 6. We are hopeful this will increase the options for 

completing safety improvement son local roads.

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT? 

 Other-Engineering and Planning

Engineering Districts, Bureau of Operations, and the Center for Performance Management (CPDM).

How are HSIP funds allocated in a State? 

• Central Office via Statewide Competitive Application Process

• Formula via MPOs

With the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act we now have $40 Million a year for our statewide set 

aside competitive process. The rest of the HSIP funds are distributed among our MPOS and RPOs based on 

simple crash Distribution of F&I crashes vs total crashes in each region.

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 2021 17.6% of highway fatalities occurred on the local road network. Local highway 

fatalities decreased from 224 in 2020 to 214 in 2021. Local road fatalities have hovered above or below 

200/year over the last twenty two years with the highest total of 290 in the year 2001 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 fatal 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 using HSIP funds. Soon local roads will be segmented to help pinpoint crash locations through 

ARNOLD. PennDOT has already collected more local road traffic volumes to help expand HSM based network 

screening efforts. Also, the PennDOT PCIT tool allows the public to see where crashes occurred on a local 

road through a map feature. These new local cluster lists were provided to the PA LTAP and the PennDOT 

Engineering districts to determine better locations for local safety improvements.

PennDOT along with LTAP and the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS) 

conducted technical reviews on local roads which suggested low-cost safety projects. PennDOT provided 

direction for the studies which are conducted by LTAP consultant staff. The studies resulted in dozens of safety 

analysis reports that have an itemized list of safety countermeasures ready for a construction contract or force 

account work. LTAP also provides training to municipalities for a variety of subjects including highway safety.

PennDOT made changes to Publication 638 chapter 6 to implement force account safety work on local roads 

using HSIP funds. The update was completed in the fall of 2021. MPOs/RPOS and Engineering Districts may 

now apply for force account local road projects.

Local municipalities remain engaged in the enforcement, education, and emergency response side of highway 

safety through NHTSA grants. These behavioral safety efforts are detailed in the Pennsylvania HSP report 

submitted to NHTSA every year.

Maintenance – Maintenance helps to select projects and then has the task to maintain the projects. 

Operations – Highway Safety is part of the Bureau of Operations. 

Planning – Programs funding for safety projects and manages the commitment and obligation of safety funds.

Highway Safety & Traffic Operations – Lead Division that manages the HSIP program across the state 

(HSTOD). All highway safety activities and policies are managed by the Highway Safety Section within the 

HSTOD. Updates PennDOT Publication 638 to reflect the regulations and policies of the HSIP and SHSP. 

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.

PennDOT works with Universities (Academia) to produce research into safety programs. PennDOT routinely 

uses university support to develop and update SPFS, CMFs, and evaluate countermeasure effectiveness. 

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. (No HSIP funds.)

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 and oversight is provided by PennDOT's Bureau of Planning and Research.

Regional Planning Organizations help select and implement HSIP funded projects. 

Describe HSIP program administration practices that have changed since the last 

reporting period.

Local road force account guidelines were added to our Publication 638. This will make the distribution of HSIP 

funds easier to municipalities that have road crews capable of installing signs and pavement marking. The 

municipalities can request funding for safety projects through their MPO/RPO or the PennDOT Engineering 

District. Also, the new federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act now requires state to allocate 15% of the 

HSIP funds for VRUs. PennDOT is in the process of determining the best ways to accommodate this new 

federal VRU rule for HSIP funds. We also completed our new 2022 SHSP which is available on PennDOT's 

website. Our three emphasis areas are Lane Departures, Pedestrians and Impaired driving. We also 

completed research on Adaptive Traffic Control Signals used across the state to determine the safety 

effectiveness. The study completed by Penn State University found that ATSCs are not a good safety 

investment. The study shows that ATSCs typically show no safety improvement or actually increase crashes in 

most cases.

Program Methodology

Does the State have an HSIP manual or similar that clearly describes HSIP planning, 

implementation and evaluation processes?

Yes

PennDOT Publication 638 chapter 6 covers the HSIP for Pennsylvania. You can view the publication from 

PennDOT's website. PennDOT added a local road force account process last year. PennDOT is currently 

updating Chapter 6 to include the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act along with our new SHSP goals 

and emphasis areas. The latest updates to chapter 6 in Publication 638 should wrap up in October 2023.

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

Yes

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

Pennsylvania recognizes the safety benefits of connected and automated vehicles. As a result, PennDOT is 

committed to ensuring Pennsylvania is prepared to facilitate the deployment of connected and automated 

vehicle technology. To accomplish these goals, PennDOT participates on numerous national committees. 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 first-of-its-kind collaboration between PennDOT, 

PTC, Ohio DOT, the Ohio Turnpike, Michigan DOT and universities in those states with a focus on automated 

and connected vehicle initiatives across jurisdictional borders.

Additionally, PennDOT is working with academia and planning partners to equip traffic signals throughout the 

state with connected vehicle roadside units to aid in the deployment of automated vehicles. Currently, 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 28 of 79

Pennsylvania has deployments in the Pittsburgh & Harrisburg regions, with planned deployments in State 

College & Philadelphia. Pennsylvania currently has legislation allowing AV testing, vehicle platooning, 

automated construction vehicles, and personal delivery devices (PDDs). Policies have been developed 

outlining the guidelines for the testers and deployers of AVs, platoons and PDDs that operate within 

commonwealth right-of-way. PennDOT will be working with the House and Senate Transportation Committees 

to develop legislation regarding emerging technologies for the commonwealth. In Fall 2019, PennDOT was 

awarded a $8.4 million Automated Driving System (ADS) Demonstration Grant to explore the safe integration 

of automated vehicles in work zones. Through the ADS grant, PennDOT plans to develop a consistent 

approach to allow for AVs to operate in work zones.

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 created a new tutorial video for the High Safety Network Screening. The video is now available on 

PennDOT's highway safety website. The video is 23 minutes long and covers a lot of questions commonly 

asked about the network screening. The Department has received numerous good comments about the tutorial

video. PennDOT intends to create more short length tutorial videos about HSM analysis for different scenarios. 

PennDOT is updating its PennDOT specific in-person HSM class. The class is 1 1⁄2 days long. The class was 

taught by national experts from Kittelson Associates in the past. 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. The goal is to 

pilot the new class in November 2022 and hold two training sessions in March and April 2023.

PennDOT completed research on adaptive traffic signal controls (ATSCs) this year. The research resulted in 

several CMFs. The results of the study show that ATSCs are not a good safety countermeasure in 

Pennsylvania and are no longer an approved countermeasure for HSIP funds in the Commonwealth.

PennDOT is in the process of developing more CMFs for two other regularly used CMFs. These 

countermeasures are high tension cable median barrier (HTCMB) and high friction surface treatments (HFST).

Simple before after studies have been done for these countermeasures, but not a detailed study that will result 

in HSM based CMFs. 

The Department is also tackling the need to update our regional SPFs. PennDOT will use HSIP funds to 

update our regionalized SPFs and also to explore the option of a new SPF for the City of Philadelphia based 

on the Northeastern Megalopolis consisting of Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and 

Washington DC. Other factors that need included into our SPFs include roundabouts, jug handle intersections, 

one-way streets, trail crossings, bump outs at intersections, RRFBs, updated collision type and severity tables, 

and others. This process will take well over a year to tackle and complete.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation continues to use Publication 638A, Pennsylvania Safety 

Predictive Analysis Methods Manual, (SPAMM) as the main source of guidance for predictive analysis using 

the state’s regionalized SPFs and calibrated national freeways and ramps SPFs. The guide also covers the 

newest methods for part D alternatives analysis by incorporating the four methods that are multiplicative, 

additive, dominate effect, and dominate common residuals.

PennDOT is working with other states and the FHWA through the HSM Implementation PFS group to develop 

a guide on how to communicate with non-safety professionals using the HSM. The guide is in development 

and will likely be ready for use in about 18 months. 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 29 of 79

PennDOT continues to maintain our state specific HSM analysis tools and provides them to all practitioners 

through our safety infrastructure website. The website also includes links to help training and information from 

the FHWA and AASHTO. The website is located at: at: 

https://www.penndot.gov/TravelInPA/Safety/Pages/Safety-Infrastructure-Improvement-Programs.aspx .

Finally, PennDOT will continue to incorporate more HSM based decisions into our design manuals. Work is 

underway to include these safety performance-based criteria and engineering methods.

Describe program methodology practices that have changed since the last reporting 

period.

PennDOT created a new SHSP in February 2022. The new SHSP now has three safety priority emphasis 

areas and eighteen total focus areas. The three priority emphasis areas are lane departures (which account for 

over 50% of all Pennsylvania highway fatalities), impaired drivers, and pedestrian safety.

With the passage of the new federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021 Pennsylvania is 

modifying its approach to the HSIP funding. Pennsylvania is now subject to the vulnerable road user (VRU) 

penalty for FFY 2023. The penalty requires states to obligate at least 15% of their HSIP funding allocation 

toward VRUs if VRUs make up 15% or more of their total highway fatalities. This rule requires PennDOT to 

obligate about $19 million of HSIP funds to VRU based projects. The new law was passed in November in 

2021 and final guidance for the penalty was only provided in February 2022, but back dated as effective in 

October 2021 before the law was even passed. The FHWA further clarified that the 15% rule is actually 14.5% 

based on the requirement to round up based on the FHWA’s February 2022 rule making. FHWA still needs to 

provide guidance for the VRU assessments that were mandated in the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 

Act. These assessments are due at the end of FFY 2023. The penalty affects projects in the 2023 federal fiscal 

year. This short notification and obligation requirement makes screening, developing, and delivering VRU 

projects extremely difficult in the few months the FHWA provided to states that were assessed the VRU 

penalty. PennDOT is pursuing a statewide systemic VRU project to upgrade all traffic signals with pedestrian 

countdown indicators. PennDOT has worked with a consultant to develop a tiered approach to this systemic 

VRU project. With 55% of pedestrian crashes occurring at intersections, this project should produce positive 

results. We are hopeful this fast tracked project will allow us to reach the $19 million VRU project requirement 

by the end of FFY 2023. This will require the participation and coordination with 144 different municipalities 

across the Commonwealth. 

There is also the new federal requirement to use the safe system approach to project planning, design, 

construction, operation, and maintenance in the new federal legislation. PennDOT added the safe system 

approach to highway safety in our February 2022 SHSP.

PennDOT is also investigating options on how HSIP funds can be allocated differently to ensure the state 

meets HSIP funding obligation requirements. Pennsylvania is currently a penalized state due to not having 

made significant progress in four of the five safety target metrics that were mandated in the FAST Act. There 

are many options one of which includes allocating more HSIP funds into our competitive set aside HSIP funds 

and less in regional allocations.

PennDOT now has a policy to allow local municipalities to obtain HSIP funds for simple low cost safety 

improvements like signs and pavement markings. If a municipality has a road crew that is capable of installing 

signs or pavement markings, they can work with their MPO/RPO or Engineering District to request HSIP fund 

to install these low cost safety countermeasures. This approach should reduce the legal hurdles that PennDOT 

and municipalities experienced in previous attempts to complete HSIP funded safety improvements on locally 

owned roads. 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 30 of 79

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

elaborate.

The following noteworthy practices have been identified in Pennsylvania's recently updated HSIP 

Implementation Plan:

Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Implementation - A decade ago, PennDOT recognized that there were 

significant shortfalls in only using site-specific historical crash data as the basis for evaluating highway safety 

issues. At the same time, AASHTO published the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) and provided new tools, 

techniques, and methodologies for predicting safety performance and determining appropriate responses that 

would reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. Pennsylvania was one of the early leaders in 

implementing the HSM and integrating it into PennDOT’s project development processes. Some specific 

examples include:

- PennDOT now requires HSM analysis of alternatives and in requests for design exceptions if the design 

exceptions involve safety features adequately addressed in the HSM. HSM based analysis must be used to 

justify any HSIP project application.

- To support these changes, PennDOT has provided multiple rounds of HSM training to their Headquarters, 

Engineering District offices, Planning partners, and consultant forces. The training offers hands-on exercises 

that provide realistic examples of how to apply the HSM in Pennsylvania. PennDOT completed its first HSM 

tutorial video about highway safety network screening and plans to create more short length HSM analysis 

How-To videos.

- PennDOT has made extensive efforts to fully “localize” the HSM tools. Models for rural two-lane roads, rural 

multilane highways, urban and suburban arterials, and collectors were developed specifically for Pennsylvania. 

Recognizing the wide variety of conditions in the state, SPFs in some Pennsylvania-specific models have been 

taken down to the County level. HSM models for freeways and ramps were recently calibrated for 

Pennsylvania conditions. PennDOT will update these SPFs as explained earlier in this report. 

Data Analysis – Using a combination of HSM tools and Pennsylvania’s own extensive crash data system, 

PennDOT has done network screening of potential safety issues in all 67 counties and has made those results 

available to the districts. In addition, Pennsylvania established a very basic tracking system for any project 

receiving HSIP funds, including systemic projects, which includes before-and-after crash data for those 

locations. This allows PennDOT to continually evaluate the effectiveness of particular safety countermeasures 

and determine where they have the greatest impact. There are several flaws in the existing project tracking 

method and options to improve HSIP project tracking will be explored. 

Innovative Safety Countermeasures – PennDOT has been one of the early adopters of proven safety 

countermeasures, including a broad application of high friction paving surfaces that have been deployed where 

risk factors indicate high value. These include implementing Safety-Edge as a default standard in paving 

projects, establishing a statewide roundabout coordinator to facilitate broader use of roundabouts, and 

coordinating the use of Central Office open-end contracts to help the districts implement these innovative 

intersection and interchange projects. PennDOT has also implemented systemic improvements to rapidly 

deploy proven countermeasures, like centerline and edge-of-road rumble strips, high friction surface 

treatments, advance curve warnings, and high-tension cable median barrier.

Institutionalizing Safety Processes - PennDOT is in the process of updating its Publication 638, The 

Highway Safety Guide, to incorporate changes in the HSIP program, include new safety concepts from the 

2022 SHSP, and requirements from the new federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and updates to 

Pennsylvania’s crash data reporting tools. PennDOT continues to integrate the concepts of the HSM into the 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 31 of 79

state’s policies and practices and have Publication 638A Pennsylvania Safety Predictive Analysis Methods 

Manual for people to use when completing safety analysis.

Intersection Safety –Addressing intersection crashes is a safety focus area in Pennsylvania’s SHSP, 

accounting for 21% of the annual fatalities and 30% of serious injuries. To improve safety and mobility at these 

crossings, PennDOT has developed an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) policy that enables users to 

consistently consider multiple proven geometry and traffic control strategies for either new intersections or 

modifications to existing intersections. We are currently in the process of updating our SPICE/ICE tool to a web 

based tool and will incorporate Pennsylvania’s regionalize SPFs into the analysis tool. The tool updates should 

be completed in 2024. 

Supporting Local Road Safety - Although HSIP funds are not widely used on local roads in Pennsylvania, 

PennDOT has developed multiple tools and resources for local governments to improve roadway safety. 

PennDOT’s PCIT tool allows the public and municipalities to see where fatal and serious injury (F+SSI) 

crashes occurred on their local roads through a map feature. PennDOT has also worked with the state’s Local 

Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) staff to conduct technical safety reviews on local roads, which resulted 

in an itemized list of safety countermeasures ready for a construction contract or force account work.

How much funding was transferred in to the HSIP from other core program areas 

during the reporting period under 23 U.S.C. 126?

$0

How much funding was transferred out of the HSIP to other core program areas during 

the reporting period under 23 U.S.C. 126?

$0

We did not transfer any funds into or out of HSIP for SFY 21-22.

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

the future.

There are a few Engineering Districts that have encountered project delivery challenges in the 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 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 34 of 79

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 has become part of a weighted criteria for HSIP set aside project selection. 

PennDOT may also pursue a different HSIP funding allocation based less on regional boundaries and more 

based on competitive safety needs. There have been issues with projects underestimating the impacts of 

utilities and ROW. These too have contributed to delaying projects. Another option is to build up an inventory of 

locations for systemic safety projects. This would queue years of projects for systemic safety 

Local projects using HSIP funds are difficult to deliver in Pennsylvania due to limited project delivery abilities in 

each municipality and legal agreements that need to be created to allow contracted construction work on local 

roads, designate maintenance responsibility, and cover right to know laws. Many municipal governments also 

lack the ability to develop a project or construct safety projects. PennDOT created the option of using HSIP 

funds for force account projects to have safety improvements completed on locally owned roads by municipal 

road crews. This option will allow municipalities that have road crews capable of installing signs and pavement 

markings to receive some HSIP funds to buy signs and pavement markings and install them at intersections or 

curves to mitigate crashes. PennDOT’s Publication 638 was updated last year to include new HSIP force 

account guidelines for local roads.

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

which the State would like to elaborate. 

PennDOT is 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 funded HSIP projects than was done 

several years ago. Any project applications submitted for a spot location must now have a BCA completed that 

show a 1:1 or better B/C ratio. This has allowed the use of HSIP funds on other projects where partial funding 

can be used to implement safety improvements. The HSIP project selection policy was updated in PennDOT’s 

Publication 638 in May 2019 and chapter 6 (HSIP policy) was updated last year to allow for local road projects 

through force accounts with induvial municipalities. The municipalities can work with the MPO or Engineering 

District to apply for HSIP funds to implement low-cost safety countermeasures that the municipal road crews 

can install themselves. This will help cut back on the legal agreements between the Commonwealth and the 

municipalities and will hopefully result in more locally owned roads implementing proven safety 

countermeasures. 

The Department finished or second edition of network screening all 67 counties in Pennsylvania in June 2021. 

The highway safety network screenings were 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) with a EPDO weighting based on the FHWA’sCrash Cost for Highway Safety 

Analysis guide released in 2018 (FHWA-SA-17-071). This method uses the calculated Expected crashes for 

Fatal & Injury (F&I) and PDOs for a location and subtracts the Predicted crashes (F&I and PDO respectively) 

for that same location to produce excess yearly crash values. Then an annualized excess crash cost is 

calculated based on the F&I and PDO crash cost values and the excess crash values for F&I and PDOs. All 

locations will have that weighted annual excess crash cost 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.

The second round of network screening now includes Freeways, Speed Change Lanes, Ramps, and Ramp 

Terminals. The initial network screenings only used SPFs for all crashes. This latest round includes fatal and 

injury crash excess values along with PDO excess values. These values are weighted based on crash costs 

for the crash severities. This detailed network screening is used to help select the best locations for HSIP 

funded safety projects.

PennDOT has recognized the challenges of expanding the HSIP program to include safety projects on local 

roads. PennDOT has tried multiple approaches to implement such a program; however, sometimes institutional 

and jurisdictional challenges have kept those from moving forward. These challenges frequently arise in the 

programmatic aspects of the program, including the processes that are used to identify problem areas, develop 

applications for viable projects to address those problems, and administer the contracts to complete that work. 

Fortunately, many other states have found ways to deal with many of these issues that may offer options for 

PennDOT. The Noteworthy Practices have been grouped around the following issues:

1. Funding for Local Road Projects 

2. Increase Number of Local Applicants (Through MPOs and Districts) 

3. Identifying Project Needs on Local Roads 

4. Developing Viable HSIP Projects 

5. Administering Work to Complete HSIP Projects 

The Department has also set aside $1,127,800 in HSIP funding to collect roadway geometry (grade, cross 

slope, horizontal and vertical curvature) through our Video Log contract. This data collection with start in 2022 

and be complete for our entire roadway network in early 2024. This funding was also set aside to collect sight 

distance data using point cloud data from Lidar technology, however the vendor does not have the capability to 

provide this data at this time. The pandemic has prevented the vendor from widespread adoption of Lidar. 

They have acquired one Lidar unit but it is earmarked for another state’s project for the rest of this year. They 

should be able to do a test project when their Lidar unit is available next year to determine if they can provide 

sight distance from point cloud data that would meet our needs.

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.

Pennsylvania does not classify crash data by "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.

Roadway Ownership data includes High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) routes excluded from the HPMS annual 

submittal, per FHWA.

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

2021 vehicle miles traveled increased by 20.4% after the heavily influenced pandemic year of 2020. 

Pennsylvania has changed from a .5% estimated increase in VMT over the last several years, to now 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 54 of 79

estimating VMT holding level for our 2022/2023 performance targets. We are no longer estimating an increase 

due to record high gas prices, active transportation on the rise, and the growing number of 

companies/agencies transitioning to teleworking practices.

The number of Pennsylvania licensed drivers ages 65 and over have increased consistently since 2010 

peaking in 2020. This increase has a significant impact on the number of Older Driver and Pedestrian 

Fatalities/Serious Injuries (Question #39). 2021 saw a slight decrease in licensed drivers for this age group but 

still the 2nd highest number on record. This age group’s highway fatalities increased by 59 in 2021. People age 

65 and older account for approximately 19% of Pennsylvania’s population based on US census data.

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". Some crashes that had injury severities less than serious (or major) based on the 

previous crash severity definitions are now considered suspected serious injuries.

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2023 Targets *

Number of Fatalities:1160.9

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

Pennsylvania's current target is to reduce 2021 fatalities by two percent per year through 2023. The target 

shown above (1160.9) is the five-year rolling average for 2019-2023. 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 2019 to 2021 and estimated fatal crash data in 2022 and 2023 assuming a 2% reduction 

each year.

Number of Serious Injuries:4893.2

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

Pennsylvania's current target is to hold 2021 serious injuries level through 2023. The target shown above 

(4893.2) is the five-year rolling average for 2019-2023. 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.

Fatality Rate:1.170

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

The target shown above (1.170) is calculated using the 2019-2023 five-year rolling average for fatalities shown 

in the first metric and vehicle miles traveled holding level in 2022 and 2023. 

Serious Injury Rate:4.931

Describe the basis for established target, including how it supports SHSP goals.
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 55 of 79

The target shown above (4.931) is calculated using the 2019-2023 five-year rolling average for serious injuries 

shown in the second metric and vehicle miles traveled holding level in 2022 and 2023.

Total Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries:811.3

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

Pennsylvania's current target is to reduce 2021 non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries by reducing 

fatalities by two percent and holding serious injuries level each year through 2023. The target shown above 

(811.3) is the five-year rolling average for 2019-2023. 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.

The ORT System has an incorrect subtitle for this question.. Calendar Year 2023 Targets are based on the 

2019-2023 5 year average not the 2018-2022 5 year average.

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

safety performance targets. 

In Pennsylvania the SHSO and the HSIP are managed under the Highway Safety Section Chief who ensures 

the goals for NHTSA and the FHWA are consistent and equal. Targets are set using historical crash data 

trends and considering how possible safety project may affect upcoming crash trends. Once ethe statewide 

safety targets are determined the Department sends a letter to the regional planning partners for their 

acceptance of the statewide goals or if the regional planning partner will develop their own goals. At first all of 

the planning partners adopted the statewide goals. However, as the years role along more regional planning 

partners are adopting their own goals. These goals are set by the MPO/RPO with or without department 

consultation. How the regional partners determine their own goals separate from the statewide goals is not 

known to the Department. It does not appear the regional planning partners select goals specific to projects 

funded with safety funds. Statewide targets are established to comply with the NHTSA and FHWA regulations 

and rules of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Real VMT data is released by PennDOT’s Bureau of 

Planning and Research around late July or August. Observed crash data for the previous year is completed 

between late April to July every year. The State SHSO works with police agencies, medical organizations, and 

others through the year.

This year Pennsylvania developed its new SHSP which was published in February 2022. The goals in the new 

SHSP were established by dozens of highway safety partners across the state and agreed to by several 

different state agencies and organizations. 

Does the State want to report additional optional targets? 

No

Describe progress toward meeting the State’s 2022 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.

The actual number for Fatality Rate is not populating correctly.. this value should be 1.162. The actual number 

for Serious Injury Rate is also not populating correctly.. this value should be 4.642. The values shown above 

are being calculated based on the average of the last 5 individual years for fatality/serious injury rate, NOT by 

taking the 5 year average (2017-2021) for fatality/serious injury rate multiplied by 100,000,000 divided by the 5 

year VMT average (2017-2021) which is how we perform the calculation.. this leads to slightly different results.

Based on the 2017-2021 data, we made significant progress on one of the five targets (Number of Fatalities). 

For the four targets that did not make significant progress (Number of Serious Injuries, Fatality Rate, Serious 

Injury Rate, and Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries), please see question 34.

Applicability of Special Rules

Does the HRRR special rule apply to the State for this reporting period? 

No

Provide the number of older driver and pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries 65 

years of age and older for the past seven years.

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

the crash.

The number of Pennsylvania licensed drivers ages 65 and over have increased consistently since 2010 

peaking in 2020. This increase has a significant impact on the number of Older Driver and Pedestrian 

Fatalities/Serious Injuries. 2021 saw a slight decrease in licensed drivers for this age group but still the 2nd 

highest number on record. This age group’s highway fatalities increased by 59 in 2021. People age 65 and 

older account for approximately 19% of Pennsylvania’s population based on US census data.

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". Some crashes that had injury severities less than serious (or major) based on the 

previous crash severity definitions are now considered suspected serious injuries.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness 

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP? 

• Benefit/Cost Ratio 

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries 

• Economic Effectiveness (cost per crash reduced) 

• Lives saved 

• Other-3 FHWA Implementation Plans (ISIP, RDIP, SMAP) 

• Other-Implementing proven systemic safety countermeasures 

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

the State's program level evaluations. 

The HSIP is evaluated every year to determine the effectiveness of projects that were constructed and in use 

for at least 3 years. The results of the evaluations are available in PennDOT’s annual HSIP Implementation 

Plan as required by the federal FAST Act and now the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs act. The HSIP 

Implementation Plan provides many different charts and graphs that show how effect different 

countermeasures are, what project types are most effective and least effective, what regions best utilize their 

safety fund for safety improvements, how the HSIP funding is spent verse the needs based on crash data, and 

some other data analysis. PennDOT also does our more detailed countermeasure evaluations. Those are 

covered in other parts of this annual report. Recent studies involved adaptive traffic signal controllers and 

highway tension cable median barriers. One area we need to improve is our obligation of funds. This is 

something PennDOT hopes to improve upon next year. 

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

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program? 

• # RSAs completed 

• HSIP Obligations 

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process 

• Increased focus on local road safety 

• More systemic programs 

• Policy change 

• Other-Reduced Fatal and serious injuries 

• Other-Projects that result in a BCR over 1.0 

Describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting 

period.

We added local road force account as an option for our HSIP funds. The new policy is in PennDOT's 

Publication 638 Chapter 7. The federal government also passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 

November 2021. This created many new rules for things like vulnerable road users, the safe system approach, 

and others. We are in the process of updating our HSIP policy in Publication 638 other other publications 

where necessary to ensure we comply with these new federal rules.

Three Priority Emphasis Areas (Lane Departure, Impaired Driver, and Pedestrians) have been selected which 

provide the greatest potential for significantly reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Prioritizing these 

emphasis areas and supporting strategies will guide allocation of funding and resources over the next five 

years and help meet our safety performance targets. In addition to our three priority emphasis areas, 

Pennsylvania has identified 15 other Safety Focus Areas (SFA) to drive down fatalities and serious injuries. 

This is essential considering the complexity of our roadway system and diverse nature of motor vehicle 

crashes. These SFAs were established based on the most current 5-year average fatality data, proven 

countermeasures, and benefit-cost analysis. 

Starting in 2016 the terminology "Suspected Serious Injury" was adopted as per the Federal FAST Act. 

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 #39. Young & Inexperienced Drivers includes drivers 20 years 

old and younger. Speeding and Aggressive Driving includes numbers from Speeding Related (speeding, 

driving too fast for conditions, or police chase) crashes. 

Has the State completed any countermeasure effectiveness evaluations during the 

reporting period?

Yes

Please provide the following summary information for each countermeasure 

effectiveness evaluation. 

CounterMeasures: Adaptive Traffic Signal Controllers 

Description: 

Target Crash Type: Intersections 

Number of Installations: 662 

Number of Installations: 662 

Miles Treated: 

Years Before: 3 

Years After: 3 

Methodology: Before/after using empirical Bayes or Full 

Bayes 

Results: 

Completed evaluation of adaptive traffic 

signal controllers. The study was 

submitted to the FHWA for a review of the 

CMFs and hopefully have them added to 

the CMF Clearinghouse. Overall the 

ATSCs do not show a great deal of 

success in reducing fatal or serious 
2022 Pennsylvania Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 62 of 79

injuries. So PennDOT will no longer fund 

ATSCs with HSIP funds. 

File Name: Updated CMF Final Report 2022.05.04.pdf

CounterMeasures: High Tension Cable Median Barriers 

Description: 

High tension cable median barrier is used 

to prevent cross median crashes which 

typically result in fatal and serious injury 

crashes. 

Target Crash Type: Other (define) 

Number of Installations: 51 

Number of Installations: 51 

Miles Treated: 

Years Before: 3 

Years After: 3 

Methodology: Simple before/after 

Results: 

High tension cable median barriers were 

evaluated at over 50 locations and 

showed a positive benefit cost ratio across 

the network. The HTCMBs significantly 

reduce fatal and serious injury crashes 

due to cross median crashes. A more in 

depth study is just starting and will develop 

CMFS for HTCMBs in PA.

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

PennDOT continues to complete detailed studies of different countermeasures like ATSCs, HFSTs, and HTCMBs to help direct the safety program. 

PennDOT has identified the need for better project tracking after the initial approval of a HSIP funded project. The current system has several flaws that lead to deobligations and problems having quality safety projects that can fill in for 

the deobligated projects. Options to fix this issue are under discussion and will likely take several years to fix.

What date was the State’s current SHSP approved by the Governor or designated State representative? 

 02/25/2022

What are the years being covered by the current SHSP? 

From: 2022 To: 2027

When does the State anticipate completing it’s next SHSP update? 

 2027

Pennsylvania’s 2022 SHSP was developed to maintain and build on momentum achieved by previous editions of the plan. It serves as a blueprint to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Pennsylvania roadways and targets safety focus 

areas that have the most influence on improving highway safety throughout the state. For each focus area, strategies and action items have been identified applying to all public roads throughout the commonwealth. Three priority 

emphasis areas (Lane Departure Crashes, Impaired Driving, and Pedestrian Safety) have been selected which provide the greatest potential for significantly reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Prioritizing these emphasis areas 

and supporting strategies will guide allocation of funding and resources over the next five years and help meet our safety performance targets. 

Themes addressed in our plan include enhancing Highway Safety, Active Transportation, the Safe System Approach and providing Transportation Equity. Highway Safety is a diverse and complex field. Motor vehicle crashes generally 

involve multiple contributing factors (human, roadway, environmental, and/or vehicle), which means the approach to preventing crashes must be multidisciplinary in nature. 

Pennsylvania’s comprehensive approach to improve highway safety started with engaging state and national experts at a Highway Safety Summit to collect input. The plan was then developed in collaboration with federal, state, and 

regional partners. We will continue to embrace the practices and tools that make our transportation network safer and help all roadway users become more responsible. A combined effort among all our safety stakeholders and partners is 

necessary to continue reducing fatalities and move toward zero deaths.

These percentages are reflected by Function Class and not Jurisdiction. 

Pennsylvania has no segments, intersections or ramps classified as Non Local Paved, Non-State. 

The percentages under Local Paved Roads are Federal-Aid roads with route #'s for "State Owned" and non-Federal-Aid municipal owned roads for "Non State Owned" 

Segment Identifier - We have defined segments for 100% of Liquid Fuels local roads. We are working on QA/QC for all 67 counties; as the QA/QC process is completed for a county, we are segmenting the non-liquid fuels roads. As of 

August 2022, 37 counties are complete through segmentation. There are currently 9 counties in the QA/QC process. 

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 - LRS locations are known but accuracy is not 100% and QA efforts will take place once the inventory is established. PennDOT's Traffic Signal Asset Management System (TSAMS) currently stores all 

signalized intersections in PA including the city of Philadelphia. 

Average Annual Daily Traffic (79) [81] for local paved roads remains at 10% but will be increasing next year. There are 175,334 sites assigned statewide for the Non-State Non-Federal-Aid routes overall. Districts 2, 3, and 9 have 29,645 

collection sites. We have scheduled 8,238 sites for collection in 2022 for the three Districts. We have received 3,626 counts thus far and have accepted 3,458 or 95% of the counts. These totals do not include the approximate 7,200 that 

were transitioned from the previous local road traffic count 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. 

PennDOT plans on completing this by September 2026. BOO handles collection and BIO is responsible for data management of state-maintained roadways. Traffic data are collected by BPR for all public roadways. Non-local roadway 

data are collected and maintained through the current legacy systems. Data are collected by the District as changes are made, or as discovered during the LRS QA process. Some data are collected using Video Log. BPR is responsible 

for data collection and data management for local roads. BPR also collects traffic data for all roadways. Collection of traffic data is handled through use of pneumatic tubes and portable traffic counters. For non-traffic, data collectors 

utilized tablets in the field and aerial photography or LIDAR when they were cost reasonable. This work has been completed. No update cycle is planned now that the data have been collected. 

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 all 67 counties integrated within the database and are in process of QA/QC for the entire state. 

The cost for liquid-fuels roadways is estimated at $6 million. Traffic data for non-liquid fuels data collection has not been estimated. Collection of remaining non-traffic data for both local and non-local roads is estimated to be at least $2 

million. These costs do not include ongoing maintenance of data after initial collection. The source of all the funding needed to meet goals has not been established. HSIP funds will bear the burden of many of these costs. Research, 

LTAP and TRCC funding will be considered. Additional funding will likely be needed to accelerate the schedule to meet the September 2026 deadline. 

PennDOT has used HSIP set-aside funds and consultant support to help meet the requirement including the collection of traffic volumes at approximately 5,100 local-state road intersections.
