Executive Summary

The Washington state HSIP program funds both local safety (70%) and state highway safety (30%)

programs. The program continues to be successful (56.33 B/C for projects closed in 2011). Projects going

forward using HSIP funds target the top two (both priority one) infrastructure focus areas identified in

the SHSP (Run‐Off‐the‐Road and Intersections).

The HSIP program has had a major benefit and effect on road safety in Washington state. While state

highways have allocated state funds to support safety efforts, in addition to HSIP funds, the majority of

local road safety efforts are funded by the HSIP program. With 70% of fatal and serious injury crashes in

the priority one focus areas, this is a desperately needed program for the state to have any possibility of

achieving its Target Zero vision by 2030.

Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

progress in achieving safety performance targets, and assessment of the

effectiveness of the improvements.

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

Washington uses a data‐driven process to determine HSIP funding levels for state vs local roads. The

current SHSP, "Washington Strategic Highway Safety Plan: Target Zero," (www.targetzero.com) has

specified priority levels for types/causes/categories of fatal & serious injury crashes based on crash type,

driver behaviors, or user type. The top 2 infrastructure related priorities are Run‐Off‐the‐Road crashes

(priority 1) and Intersection crashes (priority 1).

To determine the HSIP funding allocation between state and local roadways, WSDOT evaluates the

number of fatal & serious injury run‐off‐road and intersection‐related crashes statewide for a
2015 Washington     Highway Safety Improvement Program

consecutive 5‐year period. WSDOT calculates the ratio of crashes on local agency responsibility roads to

those on state highways then allocates HSIP funding between state and local roadways based on that

percentage. Currently, local agencies receive 70% of HSIP funds and the state receives 30%.

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners.  

Oversight for the 70% of the HSIP funds that are directed to local agencies is assigned to the Local

Programs division for management (to identify local agency priorities, distribution of funds to counties &

cities, individual project selection, federal oversight, project delivery, etc.).

Oversight for the 30% of the HSIP funds that are directed to the state is managed by the WSDOT

Multimodal Safety Executive Committee (MSEC). WSDOT does not have a specific highway safety office

within the DOT. Instead, highway safety is managed collaboratively across all of the department's

divisions and coordinated between all modes. Oversight of the highway safety program by MSEC

provides department‐wide and multimodal coordination and input on highway safety issues. MSEC is

comprised of program directors from all of the major highways divisions (Design, Planning, Program

Management, Traffic Operations, Local Programs, Quality Assurance & Transportation System Safety,

and Strategic Analysis & Reporting) and modes (Ferries, Rail, Aviation, and Transit.)

The Local Programs Division oversees the planning of HSIP funds for local agencies. In developing

program methodology, local agency representatives and representatives of local agency associations are

included in the decision‐making process for agreement with the criteria in evaluating the projects for

the programs. Those local agency representatives are identified with assistance from local government

associations (city & county) to reflect a cross‐section of those agencies.

For the City Safety program, representation includes FHWA, AWC (Association of Washington Cities),

and city representatives from eastern and western Washington and from large, medium, and small

cities.

For the County Safety Program, representation includes FHWA, WSACE (Washington State Association of

County Engineers), CRAB (County Road Administration Board), and county representatives from eastern

and western Washington and from large and small counties.

The state HSIP program focuses on Collision Analysis Locations (CALs), which are generally focused on

low‐cost spot modifications at specific crash locations and Intersection Analysis Locations (IALs) related

to Intersection safety.

The local HSIP program focuses on a County Safety Program ‐ primarily Roadway Departure with some

Intersection focus, and a City Safety Program ‐ primarily an Intersection focus. It also funds the Corridor

Safety Program on city & county roadways.

managers review and approve proposed projects from an engineering and cost‐benefit perspective.

The City Safety Program includes elements of both high‐cost spot improvements and low‐cost systemic

safety improvements.

The County Safety Program is focused on low‐cost systemic safety improvements. Counties are required

to submit a local road safety plan to be eligible to apply for funds. Allocation of funds is based on

available funding with counties being required to meet certain criteria for approval for project award.

50% is an estimate. The majority of county projects have been systemic. A dedicated portion of city

projects are systemic, and some of the "high‐cost" projects also implement systemic improvements. And

HSIP, Other Federal Funds, and State and Local funds represent Calendar Year 2014. Programmed and

obligated funds are both based on projects in the 2014 STIP. Note that most projects include some

safety elements and countermeasures, in larger or smaller shares of other projects using federal funds.

These projects are not captured here, in part because it would be very difficult to break out the safety

funding versus non‐safety funding within those projects. It should be noted that the local funds included

in the table are what was "committed" to the projects as part of a match, but are not officially

"obligated" as they are not federal funds.

Local Agency Projects: Programmed values are from the 2014 STIP. Obligated values are from SPORT

(internal program) for projects in the 2014 STIP.

State Projects: Programmed values are from the 2014 STIP. Obligated values are from I2 Safety

expenditures (internal program) in 2014 for projects in the 2014 STIP.

Behavioral Projects: Behavioral funds are administered by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission

(WTSC). These figures represent federal fiscal year 2015, including carry forward funds for some

categories. Programmed reflects funds that have been transferred from NHTSA to the WTSC. Obligated

funds are not yet available (for funds that have been allocated to specific projects aside from Section

402 funds), so programmed funding levels are shown.

Discuss impediments to obligating Highway Safety Improvement Program funds and plans to

overcome this in the future.

The biggest impediment to obligating HSIP funds has been getting realistic schedules for local agency

projects. For new project awards, several additional scheduling milestones have been included on

application forms, to help local agencies think through all of the parts of the project life. With MAP‐21

requirements, projects will also be held to a strict project delivery schedule or will have funds rescinded.

In addition, recent funding awards have provided an obligation incentive by providing lower matching

requirements for construction if pre‐set Ad dates are met. Based on initial responses from local

agencies, this appears to be a potentially‐effective approach.

Table would not allow formatting of years other than the final year. Because we have 2014 data, it was

entered into the table. However, it was not possible to enter 2013 data. Here is the 2013 data:

There are 78 fatalities with unknown functional classification, of these 12 are Rural and 64 are Urban, and 2 are full Unkn

serious injuries with unknown functional classification and not included in the frequency calculations. The majority of the 

injuries without functional classification are on city streets ‐ this would impact primarily the urban functional classification 

The jurisdiction type data does not split out the miscellaneous roadways into sub‐categories for VMT. So the rates are on

county, and city roads.

Describe any other aspects of the general highway safety trends on which you would like to elaborate.

While the most recent update to the state Strategic Highway Safety Plan: Target Zero (updated in 2013)

showed significant progress and downward trends for both fatalities on all public roads (29% reduction

in 10‐years) and serious injuries (29% reduction in 10‐years), the most recent 2‐4 years have shown a

continued flattening of the curve. Continued progress will need to be made to achieve our goal of Target

Zero. With full implementation of HSM principles throughout the WSDOT project development process

and use of SafetyAnalyst, and with a more complete implementation of systemic safety efforts on local

roads, we expect to regain the downward trend.

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

FHWA shared the following information on population (# people 65+ per 1000 state population):  

2006 = 115, 2007 = 117, 2008 = 121, 2009 = 121, 2010 = 122, 2011 = 125, 2012 = 130 , 2013 = 134, 2014

= 141

Calculate rate to 0.01, round final result to 0.1. Rate calculation example: 2014 F+SI Rate = [(2014 F+SI /

Pop) + (2013 F+SI / Pop) + (2012 F+SI / Pop) + (2011 F+SI / Pop) + (2010 F+SI / Pop)] / 5  

Previous reports reported fatal and serious injuries for all person types 65+. This report has been revised

to include only driver and pedestrian fatal and serious injuries 65+. FARS (for fatalities) and WSDOT state

collision repository (for serious injuries) shows older road users (65+) in crashes as:

2006 = 54 fatalities, 146 serious injuries

2007 = 57 fatalities, 141 serious injuries  

2008 = 75 fatalities, 159 serious injuries  

2009 = 43 fatalities, 136 serious injuries  

2010 = 61 fatalities, 178 serious injuries
2015 Washington     Highway Safety Improvement Program

83

2011 = 71 fatalities, 150 serious injuries  

2012 = 61 fatalities, 148 serious injuries  

2013 = 60 fatalities, 148 serious injuries

For WSDOT, with the creation of the Multimodal Safety Executive Committee (MSEC), HSIP policies,

procedures, and projects are now better coordinated with all modes, allowing coordinated safety

programming decisions at modal connections, traveler transfer points, and intersections with highways.

For local agencies, the only change is that counties are being required to submit a local road safety plan

to be eligible to receive HSIP funds. The county safety focus was already on low‐cost, widespread

improvements. This change shifts that focus slightly into a more specific systemic safety approach.

Describe any other aspects of the overall Highway Safety Improvement Program effectiveness on

which you would like to elaborate.  

The HSIP program continues to have a major benefit and effect on road safety in Washington state.

While state highways have allocated state funds to support safety efforts in addition to HSIP funds, the

majority of local road safety efforts continue to be funded solely by the HSIP program. With 70% of fatal

and serious injury crashes in the priority one focus areas, this is a desperately needed program for

Washington state to make continued progress toward achieving its Target Zero vision of zero fatal and

serious injury crashes by 2030.

The HSIP program has provided a matching effort corresponding to the behavioral programs run

through NHTSA to help Washington state make progress toward our vision of Target Zero (zero deaths

and serious injuries by 2030). Funds from this program directly target various emphasis areas within the

SHSP. And again, this program is the primary way that local agencies make progress toward

implementing infrastructure safety improvements on their road networks.
