Executive Summary 

The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) are 

dedicated to improving safety of the motoring public through education, engineering, enforcement and 

emergency medical services initiatives. Safety is one of the Department’s core values: "Be Safe." This 

message is also reinforced in the Department’s Practical Design Guide that states, "Safety will not be 

compromised. Every project we do will make the facility safer after its completion." Additionally, "keeping our 

customers and ourselves safe" is a MoDOT Tangible Result.

Missouri's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is driven by the state's Strategic Highway Safety Plan 

(SHSP). In October 2016, Missouri introduced its fourth edition of the SHSP and established a highway safety 

goal of 700 or fewer fatalities by 2020. Missouri’s Blueprint: A Partnership to Zero Deaths guides the State’s 

safety initiatives and addresses safety from a comprehensive standpoint including engineering, enforcement, 

education, emergency medical services, technology and public policy solutions. The Blueprint focuses on 

implementing strategies that will reduce both fatal and serious injuries on Missouri roadways. The Blueprint 

and the statewide fatality goal are considered in the development and implementation of each of the 

Department’s highway safety plans.

Evidenced-based decision-making is paramount to a sound safety program. Data analysis is a critical part of 

identifying overrepresented crash types, locations, driver age, driver gender, and driver behaviors. These 

findings guide the deployment of effective and appropriate strategies to improve safety on the entire system. 

Efforts are made to analyze fatal and serious injury crashes to help discern where limited safety funding should 

be applied so that maximum safety improvements and benefits are attained.

From 2005-2014, Missouri experienced a steady decline in both fatalities and serious injuries. During that time, 

fatalities decreased by 40 percent (1,257 in 2005 to 766 in 2014) and serious injuries decreased by 46 percent 

(8,621 in 2005 to 4,567 in 2014). Over the last three years, the fatalities and serious injuries have been 

trending upward. In 2017, preliminary data indicates 932 fatalities and 4,874 serious injuries occurred on 

Missouri's roadways. While fatalities decreased from the previous year (949 fatalities in 2016), Missouri is still 

experiencing a 22% increase in fatalities compared to 2014. Serious injuries have also been rising, up 300 

from a low of 4574 in 2015. Despite this rise, the 5-year average for serious injuries decreased (4,756.4) for 

the 12th year in a row. Additionally, the 5-year average for fatalities increased in 2017 to 854.4.

Introduction

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving 

a significant reduction in fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. As per 23 U.S.C. 148(h) and 23 CFR 

924.15, States are required to report annually on the progress being made to advance HSIP implementation and 

evaluation efforts. The format of this report is consistent with the HSIP Reporting Guidance dated December 

29, 2016 and consists of five sections: program structure, progress in implementing highway safety 

improvement projects, progress in achieving safety outcomes and performance targets, effectiveness of the 

improvements and compliance assessment.

Program Structure

Program Administration

Describe the general structure of the HSIP in the State. 

The overall HSIP is administered by MoDOT's Highway Safety and Traffic Division. However, the division does 

not typically identify individual projects as part of this process. Instead, HSIP funds are distributed to each of 

MoDOT's seven districts based on the number of crashes and other factors within each region. From there, 

each district identifies how their share of HSIP funds will be programmed in accordance with Missouri's SHSP 

and MoDOT guidance. The districts carry out the projects to completion, and all HSIP projects are reported by 

the Highway Safety and Traffic Division. Occasionally, statewide safety projects may be carried out by the 

Highway Safety and Traffic Division. Missouri's HSIP is primarily developed by MoDOT. However, since the 

state's SHSP involves input from external stakeholders throughout the state, the HSIP is influenced by external 

partners as well.

The Highway Safety and Traffic Division also have some HSIP funds distributed to them.

In January of 2018, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved the use of a new formula 

for distributing safety funds to MoDOT's Districts. This new formula places more focus on areas experiencing 

fatal and disabling injury crashes. This new distribution will take effect in 2021.

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

Our local roads are included in the crash data system analysis. We evaluate all roadways in the state and 

place emphasis on severe crashes. This analysis is performed for both intersections and non-intersection 

locations. To date we have used an analysis method, which places weight on the severe crashes and locations 

that have experienced a higher frequency of severe crashes and are often those that will find their way on our 

top priority lists. While most of the locations to date have been on the state system roadways, we have recently 

seen a few of the local roads locations make these high priority lists. While we continue to believe that the 

majority of the problem locations will be state system locations, we have evaluated non-state system severe 

crash locations and have determined that 61% of our non-state system fatalities are in seven counties 

(Jackson, Jefferson, Greene, Boone, St. Charles, St. Louis City, and St. Louis County). Local strategic highway 

safety plans (SHSP) have been developed for the top counties experiencing severe crashes. The local SHSPs 

identify systemic countermeasures and high priority projects. To date we have communicated the problem 

locations to the planning entities like our Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning 

Commissions. We also work with our LTAP center to continue to move safety forward in our state. Additionally, 

we have used the RSA process to better address local road issues on occasion, we have a Transportation 

Engineering Assistance Program (TEAP) to assist locals, and we also have a subcommittee from our SHSP 

that focuses on infrastructure improvement opportunities for local roads.

There is some overlap in these selections with the way MoDOT is structured. Traffic engineering/safety could 

be included under operations, however operations is more inclusive in other traffic areas that both were 

selected.

2018 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 7 of 60

MoDOT has focused for some time on system-wide safety solutions. We have worked with our Design Division 

to address our Engineering Policy, our Operations and Maintenance staff to improve the roadsides, and our 

Planning staff to better evaluate and select safety needs for improvements. We have also worked with the 

previously mentioned internal partners on the training and use of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). 

Additionally, we work daily with the Highway Safety office to evaluate and monitor the crash types. It is vital 

that all areas in our department work together and focus on safety improvements. We have begun efforts to 

improve our safety situation on the local roads and have developed local SHSPs for our top counties. We are 

also working with our Planning and Design Divisions to consider how we might best administer safety projects 

on local roads.

Describe coordination with external partners.

Missouri's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is the umbrella document that identifies emphasis areas and 

prioritizes strategies for reducing fatalities and serious injuries on all Missouri roadways. The development of 

the SHSP utilized significant involvement from external stakeholders throughout the state, including 

metropolitan planning organizations and local government agencies.

MoDOT has also identified the top counties where non-state system fatalities have occurred and worked with 

them to develop localized strategic safety plans. These plans identify systemic countermeasures and high 

priority projects.

Additionally, when setting the new safety performance targets, MoDOT had an inclusive process which 

thoroughly involved collaboration with our MPOs and other planning partners to come to a consensus on the 

2019 targets.

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

period?

Yes

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

for distributing safety funds to MoDOT's Districts. This new formula places more focus on areas experiencing 

fatal and disabling injury crashes. This new distribution will take effect in 2021.

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

Yes

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

Safety initiatives continue to be driven by the State SHSP. The State SHSP includes numerous safety 

initiatives that are data driven. Each district develops a regional district safety plan for their available HSIP 

funds. These district plans must support the overarching goals of the statewide SHSP at the district level.

Emphasis Area 1 of Missouri's Strategic Highway Safety Plan targets Serious Crash Types. In this emphasis 

area, six focus areas were identified.

Lane Departure

• Run-Off-Road - Not in a Curve 

• Run-Off-Road - In a Curve 

• Collision with Tree and/or Utility Pole 

• Head-On 

Intersections

• Non-signalized 

• Signalized 

Each of these focus areas have key strategies identified, including supporting vehicle-to-infrastructure 

communications. MoDOT is exploring the use of 3rd party partnerships to provide motorist in vehicle 
2018 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 17 of 60

information related to traffic signals. This information could be provided to the motorist through the dashboard 

of their vehicle or through a mobile application.

MoDOT is also actively pursuing the use of autonomous Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) for mobile work 

zones. Two autonomous TMAs are anticipated to be ready for testing in a pilot project beginning in January 

2019. 

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.

The HSM is encouraged to be used when performing alternative analysis of safety countermeasures for 

particular projects. This often involves using crash modification factors from the CMF clearing house.

The HSM is also used to develop anticipated safety benefits for a project, which is used to both justify using 

safety funds and prioritizing the project.

More recently, MoDOT developed a crash prediction tool for rural two-lane highways that uses the HSM 

methodologies. This tool has a feature to assist in the network screening of these routes and identify locations 

that may have a high potential for safety improvement.

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

period?

Yes

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

MoDOT has developed a crash prediction tool that will utilize roadway and crash data to develop expected 

crash rates for rural two lane highways. This information can be used to identify which areas are performing 

worse than predicted based on the roadway characteristics. This information can then be used as another 

resource when identifying and prioritizing locations that my benefit from a safety improvement.

In January of 2018, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved the use of a new formula 

for distributing safety funds to MoDOT's Districts. This new formula places more focus on areas experiencing 

fatal and disabling injury crashes. This new distribution will take effect in 2021.

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

Yes

Describe other aspects of the HSIP methodology on which the State would like to elaborate.
2018 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 18 of 60

MoDOT uses data driven safety analysis to identify the top crash types occurring in Missouri and developed a 

list of strategies focused on addressing these crash types. Additionally, MoDOT develops various safety 

priority lists that identify the locations of safety concerns based on various criteria, such as:

- High Severity Locations (Intersections/Range)

- Run Off Road Crash Locations (Curves and No Shoulders)

- Wet Crash Locations

- Crossed Centerline Crash Locations

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

Asset management is a relatively new practice being implemented by MoDOT. By performing asset 

management MoDOT will ensure they are able to maintain the existing transportation network. Implementing 

new safety improvements that will add to the transportation system can be a challenge to fund in Districts that 

are unable to meet their asset management goals. It has been proposed to include HSIP projects into 

MoDOT's asset management process to ensure the safety improvements constructed will be able to be 

maintained into the future.

MoDOT has improved their ability to determine HM VMT per functional class and ownership. Thus, rates for 

previous years have been recalculated and may differ from those included in previous HSIP reports.

It should be noted that Urban Minor Collectors had a VMT less than one hundred million. As such, the rates 

are higher than the annual average for this specific functional classification.

Data for this report was compiled in August 2018.

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

elaborate?

Yes

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

The total annual vehicle miles traveled for Missouri have climbed steadily over the last 5 years. Missouri's VMT 

is now the highest it's been over the last decade. This increased amount of traffic increases the opportunity 

that a crash could occur. While fatalities were lower in 2017 compared to 2016, the combined total of fatalities 

and serious injuries continues to rise.

Pedestrian fatalities have been holding steady for the last 3 years at about 100 each year. Recognizing this as 

an issue, the St. Louis District coordinated with FHWA to organize a Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian 

(STEP) workshop in May 2018. Several local agencies participated in this event.

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2019 Targets * 

Number of Fatalities 872.3 

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

The target is based on our 2016 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). In this plan, 

the goal is to have fewer than 700 fatalities by 2020. The 2019 target was based on the 

historical 5-year rolling average of fatalities, the 2020 goal in the SHSP, and 

extrapolating an interim 5-year rolling average target for 2019. This target is in line 

with the SHSP to reduce the number of fatalities on Missouri's roadways. 

Number of Serious Injuries 4433.8 

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

This target was developed by projecting the historical 5-year rolling average of serious 

injury crashes to 2019. The historical data used to develop the trend line consisted of a 

5-year rolling average from 2006 to 2016. This target is in line with the SHSP to 

reduce the number of serious injuries on Missouri's roadways. 

Fatality Rate 1.160 

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

The fatality rate was calculated by taking a 5-year rolling average of historical and 

forecasted annual fatality rates. Historical fatality rates were derived from observed 

fatality totals and estimated Annual Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Forecasted rates 

were determined by using the number of fatalities target (developed from the SHSP 

target) and dividing by the estimated Annual VMT. It was assumed that Annual VMT 

would grow at a rate of 1% per year. This target is in line with the SHSP to reduce the 

number of fatalities on Missouri's roadways. 

Serious Injury Rate 6.168 

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

The serious injury rate was calculated by taking a 5-year rolling average of historical 

and forecasted annual serious injury rates. Historical serious injury rates were derived 

from observed serious injury totals and estimated Annual Vehicle Miles Traveled 

(VMT). Forecasted rates were determined by using the number of serious injuries 

target and dividing by the estimated Annual VMT. It was assumed that Annual VMT 

would grow at a rate of 1% per year. This target is in line with the SHSP to reduce the 

number of serious injuries on Missouri's roadways. 
2018 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Page 44 of 60

Total Number of Non-Motorized 

Fatalities and Serious Injuries 445.4 

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

In Missouri, there are approximately four non-motorized serious injuries for every 

non-motorized fatality. For this reason, the methodology for this target was influenced 

by the target for the number of motorized serious injuries. Achieving the 2019 number 

of serious injuries target requires an annual reduction of 4% in serious injury crashes. 

This 4% reduction was then applied to the non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries 

to forecast future year estimates. These future estimates, combined with historical 

data, allowed for calculating a 5-year rolling average, which was used to determine the 

Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries Target for 2019. This target 

is in line with the SHSP to reduce the number of non-motorized fatalities and serious 

injuries on Missouri's roadways. 

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

Targets provided for the number of fatalities, serious injuries, and fatality rate are consistent with those 

reported in the HSP. Targets for the serious injury rate and number of non-motorized fatalities and serious 

injuries, were updated at a later time using a more complete data set for 2017 crashes.

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

targets. 

For more than a decade, Missouri's Highway Safety Office has been located within MoDOT which promotes a 

collaborative environment between engineering and safety staff. MoDOT updated its Strategic Highway Safety 

Plan (SHSP) using a collaborative, team approach from August 2015 to October 2016. The team included 

external partners from emergency management, FHWA, FMCSA, hospitals, law enforcement, Missouri 

Department of Revenue, MPOs, NHTSA, RPCs, and universities. The 2016 SHSP team identified a goal of 

fewer than 700 fatalities by 2020. Revisions to the SHSP were shared periodically with the MPOs and RPCs.

Extensive coordination occurred between FHWA, MoDOT, MPO, and NHTSA staff when setting the Safety 

Targets. Missouri safety data was reviewed for trends, along with assumptions and challenges. MoDOT 

conducts monthly calls with planning stakeholders. In 2016, a target coordinating process was presented with 

feedback and consensus from the MPOs. In March, MoDOT calculated statewide and MPO data trends for 

each safety performance measure. This information was shared and discussed with MoDOT"s Executive 

Team, MPOs FHWA, and NHTSA. After feedback from partner groups, the methods and assumptions used to 

develop the performance targets were finalized in May. MoDOT then applied the agreed upon methodology to 

develop the safety performance targets and communicated them with the partners.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP?

Change in fatalities and serious injuries

Other-Evaluation of individual HSIP projects and programs 

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

Based on the measures of effectiveness selected previously, describe the results of the State's program 

level evaluations.

MoDOT will evaluate specific HSIP projects to assess their effectiveness at reducing fatal and serious injury 

crashes. This information is then used to promote or discourage the use of a particular safety countermeasure.

For systemic improvements, MoDOT tracks the change in the number of fatalities as the amount of a safety 

improvement is further deployed. This allows MoDOT to monitor the safety benefits returned on its continued 

investment of a systemic strategy. One systemic strategy evaluated was the implementation of chevrons on 

curves where advisory speeds are at lead 15 mph less than posted speeds. Between 2013 and 2017, 

horizontal curve fatalities and serious injuries on minor roads decreased from 622 to 544.

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

Highway Safety Improvement Program?

HSIP Obligations 

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

MoDOT's planning office tracks the programming of safety funds to ensure they do not lapse on HSIP funds.

Are there any significant programmatic changes that have occurred since the last reporting period? 

Yes

Describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting period.

In January of 2018, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved the use of a new formula 

for distributing safety funds to MoDOT's Districts. This new formula places more focus on areas experiencing 

fatal and disabling injury crashes. This new distribution will take effect in 2021.

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.

MoDOT will use several methods over the next several years to meet the requirements for the collection of fundamental data elements on all public roads. MoDOT will prioritize these needs by addressing the Non-Local Paved roads data 

gaps first.

Surface Type/Number of Lanes/one-two way operations/access control/Median Type – These data items will be addressed through the cooperative program we have with our local authorities that ensures we have complete and correct 

geospatial network. As we continue these reviews in the future, we will ask them to provide these additional four items. Also, much of this data can be collected through other sources such as aerial photography and video logging. The 

targeted completion data for the collection and storage of this data is December 31, 2023.

The second priority will be the Local Paved Roads.

Surface Type/Number of through lanes – These items will be collected at the same time they are collected on Non-Local Paved roads. Since geospatial reviews include all public roads, this data will have already been collected.

AADT – it is estimated that an additional 80,000 traffic count locations will be needed to fulfill this requirement. Based on historical cost and practices, this will equate to an additional cost of $2 million annually. After a complete inventory 

of the other fundamental data elements are available, a better estimate will be able to be established. The funding required to collect these additional volume counts will come at the expense of an equal value of safety improvements on 

the system. In addition, MoDOT has worked with several local agencies to "share" traffic data, but there has been little success. Few agencies collect traffic data in a manner that allows the calculation of AADT. Local government collect 

traffic data, often one time only, for specific purposes like signal timing. Local agencies do not have permanent sites or a history of short term counts available to create AADT’s. We anticipate, with the additional investment of $2 million 

annually, the AADT data for Local Paved Roads could be completed by September 30, 2026.

Provide the suspected serious injury identifier, definition and attributes used by the State for both the crash report form and the crash database using the table below. Please also indicate whether or not these elements are

Please describe the actions the State is taking to become compliant by April 15, 2019.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) is planning on implementing the “Suspected Serious Injury” attribute and definition on 01/01/19. The MSHP has sent information out already to crash report vendors so they can prepare for the 

change as well as Law Enforcement Agencies that do not report electronically, but use a computer generated crash report form. The actual revised hardcopy crash report forms and MUCR Preparation Manual will be disseminated in the 

October/November timeframe. The changes to STARS will also be completed for the 1/1/19 implementation.

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

The last HSIP assessment took place in 2016 and highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of Missouri's HSIP process. Some of the program strengths identified include:

• The ability to align its safety projects with other transportation improvements to save on costs and extend HSIP benefits.

• The flexibility for each district to program HSIP funds to projects that best suit the needs of their region.

• The systemic approach to safety improvements, which has been widely regarded as a best practice nationally.

The following are some of the focus areas to continue improving the HSIP program:

• Strong relationships and partnerships between State and local agencies are key to successful HSIP local road safety policies. 

• Local agencies and officials often need technical support or techinical guianace to overcome technical expertise barriers.

• Data driven and systemic safety improvement practices lend authority to project selection decisions and make it easier to work with stakeholders.

• Regional or county/parish safety plans can be a useful tool for guiding project selection and spending.

• Application and implementation procedures need to be documented but flexible enough to handle unique circumstances and needs.
