Executive Summary 

Kentucky’s HSIP funds are administered from the Division of Traffic Operations in KYTC’s Central Office. Each 

Highway District has an HSIP Coordinator that works closely with Central Office and District Personnel to

conduct a Road Safety Audit (RSA) on potential improvement locations. The RSA teams are multi-disciplinary 

and represent the following highway functions; planning, highway design, traffic operations, maintenance, and 

construction. The Cabinet also requests that members from local Area Development Districts (ADDs) participate 

in the process. Highway Districts are encouraged to submit candidate projects after completing all established 

guidelines for funding consideration. Funding levels to date have been sufficient to implement projects submitted 

that meet the eligibility guidelines for the program.

The program methodology used by the Transportation Cabinet during the time period of this report was generally 

the same as in the previous years. With completion of the document titled, “Kentucky Roadway Departure Safety 

Implementation Plan” in July 2010, there has been significant reliance on the recommended approach to 

supplement the traditional process directed to high-crash locations with systemic application of low-cost, costeffective countermeasures. More specifically, the systemic approach could be characterized as the reverse of the 

traditional approach in that low-cost, effective countermeasures are first identified and then the crash database is 

queried to prioritize highway sections that have targeted crashes at or above a crash threshold that would insure 

cost-effective deployment of these countermeasures. 

The HSIP supports Kentucky's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and its vision of Toward Zero Deaths. The 

mission of the SHSP is, "to reduce Kentucky's highway fatalities and injuries." In conformance with program 

guidelines, the HSIP seeks to adhere to the SHSP through a data-driven approach for funding safety 

improvements. 

Effectiveness evaluations were performed and benefit/costs were calculated, with results presented for the 

following three types of systemic improvements: 

CABLE MEDIAN BARRIERS

Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test for “before and after shift in proportions of cross-median or impacted object in 

median crashes” - significant reduction at 99% confidence level.

Empirical Bayes analysis of “before and after cross-median crashes” was not performed on cable median barrier 

crashes because the necessary safety performance function was not available.

Benefit/Cost analysis results using observed crashes; 13.58:1 based on Comprehensive Cost of motor vehicle 

collisions (National Safety Council). 

RUMBLE STRIPS

Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test for “before and after shift in proportions of lane departure crashes” - not a 

significant reduction at 95% confidence level.

Empirical Bayes analysis of “before and after lane departure crashes” results indicated the change in crashes 

(effect of the treatment) was significant at the 95% confidence level.

Benefit/Cost analysis results using expected crashes from empirical Bayes analysis; 28.79:1 based on 

Comprehensive Cost of motor vehicle collisions (National Safety Council). 

HIGH-FRICTION SURFACE TREATMENTS

Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test for “before and after shift in proportions of wet-weather lane departure crashes” - 

significant reduction at 99% confidence level.

Empirical Bayes analysis of “before and after wet-weather lane departure crashes” results indicated the change 

in crashes (effect of the treatment) was significant at the 95% confidence level.

Benefit/Cost analysis results using expected crashes from empirical Bayes analysis; 3.34:1 based on

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. 

Kentucky’s HSIP funds are administered from the Division of Traffic Operations in KYTC’s Central Office. 

Projects are prioritized and selected through network screening utilizing crash analysis performed by KTC and/or 

risk assessment utilizing Road Safety Audits (RSAs) performed by District Personnel. Each Highway District has 

an HSIP Coordinator that works closely with Central Office and District Personnel. Project Development 

is achieved either in conjunction with in-house staff at the District level or by HSIP consultants. Implementation 

of projects occurs through the Construction division via lettings. Evaluation is performed through partnership 

with KTC.

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT?

SHSP Emphasis Area Data 

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

The Governor's Office of Highway Safety is responsible for the development of the SHSP. Efforts have been 

made to use data-driven analysis to identify appropriate emphasis areas to affect highway safety. The "Roadway 

Departure" and "Intersections" emphasis areas are the primary focus for HSIP infrastructure-related projects. 

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

The Safety Circuit Rider program continues to function as the primary means of identifying and implementing 

projects on local roads through the HSIP. The focus of this program is to provide technical assistance to 
2017 Kentucky Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 7 of 73

improve safety on local roads and streets. While the free technical advice offered by the Safety Circuit Rider is 

available to every community across the Commonwealth, the program selects 6 counties with high crash rates 

on an annual cycle for focused training concerning low-cost safety improvements. The 2017 selected counties 

are Anderson, Clark, Crittenden, Greenup, Perry, and Russell.Typical improvements in these counties were 

clearing and correcting water runoff and drainage, repairing shoulder drop off and width, removing fixed 

objects such as trees and stumps, and clearing vegetation around signs and intersections. Additionally, each 

county is provided with funds for signing. Aside from these targeted counties, the Safety Circuit Rider Program 

develops one day training courses designed to provide communities with practical and effective ways to 

mainstream safety into their day-to-day activities and project development process. These courses are offered 

free at selected areas throughout Kentucky.

Describe coordination with internal partners.

Kentucky's HSIP funds are administered from the Division of Traffic Operations in KYTC's Central Office. The Planning and Project 

Development process additionally involves collaboration with all internal partners in the Planning, Design, Traffic Operations, and 

Maintenance as warranted by subject matter. The Implementation process is performed in collaboration with the Construction Division. 

Open communication is maintained with all internal partners to develop collaborative solutions on all HSIP endeavors. As component of 

open communication, each Highway District has a HSIP Coordinator who works closely with the Central 

Office and other Highway District personnel to conduct Road Safety Audits (RSAs) of potential 

improvement locations. The RSA teams are multidisciplinary and represent the assorted internal 

partner groups.

HSIP projects are selected and prioritized based on their correlation with Kentucky's Strategic Highway Safety Plan. There are 

presently 11 emphasis areas within the SHSP and efforts are made to implement projects consistent with the goals and objectives of 

the SHSP.

Yes

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

In 2016, Kentucky's HSIP continued developing projects that deployed both systemic and reactive 

countermeasures throughout most emphasis areas. Examples include: 

Cable Median Barrier - Kentucky is systemically deploying Cable Median Barrier on all sections of Interstate 

that are currently void of median barrier. From year to year, the sections are selected based on annual data 

analysis of the interstate and parkway systems. 

Roadway Departure Corridor - Corridors are selected across the state based on annual data analysis of two-lane, 

high-speed (50+ mph) rural roads. Reactive countermeasures, such as curve re-alignment, super-elevation 

improvements, and/or High Friction Surface Treatment are employed at high-crash curves along the corridors. 

Systemic improvements such as shouldering, signing, and improvements to create a consistent roadside are 

employed along the entire corridor. 

Horizontal Alignment Signing - Crash data is utilized to determine curved sections of roadway with a high 

number of dry-weather crashes. Routes with one or more such sections, in a single county, are then evaluated 

for horizontal alignment signing both to target the specified curved sections as well along the entirety of the 

route through the selected county.

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

Prior to MAP-21, the HSIP allotment Kentucky received was approximately $22 million. With its enactment in 

Oct. 2012, MAP-21 nearly doubled Kentucky's HSIP allotment to approximately $38 million. After the increase 

in funding, Kentucky struggled to produce a program of projects that expended the approximate $38 million in 

HSIP allotment, and as a result a surplus of HSIP funds developed. To combat this, the HSIP staff utilized 

Kentucky’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan to create a HSIP Investment Plan to guide transportation safety 

obligations and spending. The plan includes a set of initiatives with guidelines on general project selection 

methodology and countermeasure implementation. HSIP staff also developed and continually updates a project 

level status report with anticipated project funding needs to determine the best approach to program and invest 

the current fiscal year HSIP allotment as well as the surplus of unobligated funds from previous fiscal years. 

Kentucky has also established on-call contracts with 4 consulting firms to expedite the design and development 

of current, and future, HSIP projects to help expend the additional HSIP allotment. 
2017 Kentucky Highway Safety Improvement Program

Through the implementation of the HSIP Investment Plan the program has met with significant success 

correcting these impediments and the HSIP has progressed toward full annual obligation of HSIP funds over the 

reporting period.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP?

Other-Initiative Basis

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

Due to the extent of utilization of the HSM by KYTC's HSIP, procedures for program-wide effectiveness 

assessment do not currently exist. Effectiveness is determined at the initiative level, utilizing such 

methodology as benefit/cost ratios. 

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

level evaluations.

As previously stated, effectiveness is not currently determined at the program-wide level. Effectiveness at the 

initiative level is determined through benefit/cost ratios were applicable as seen below in the entry entitled 

Countermeasure Effectiveness Evaluations and in the Executive Summary. Current and previous 

benefit/cost analysis has shown positive return on investment for the initiatives analyzed. 

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

Highway Safety Improvement Program?

Policy change

Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process

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

Policy changes include the implementation of Rumble Strips and Durable Pavement Edge (Safety Edge), as 

well as the implementation of a Performance Based Flexible Solutions initiative within Project Development.

Did the State conduct an HSIP program assessment during the reporting period?

Yes

Describe the purpose and outcomes of the State’s HSIP program assessment.

During the reporting period, FHWA KY Division performed a process review of the Localized Risk Mitigation Projects (LRMP) initiative for the purpose of the following:

1. Determine if LRMPs are prioritized and selected in a manner consistent with Central Office HSIP-developed projects.

2. Determine if LRMPs have a similar benefit cost ratio to Central Office HSIP-developed projects. 

3. Determine whether LRMP projects are developed and procured in a timely manner.

4. Determine how the LRMP process can be altered to be more effective.

 

The review determined the following: 

This process review showcased many successful practices of the KYTC LRMP process as well as documented several areas where improvement is possible. The LRMP process allows each District the opportunity to identify and develop 

its own safety projects. This process allows each District to be intimately involved in the HSIP. LRMPs have been prioritized and evaluated differently since the program started. These projects should be evaluated and prioritized in 

similar fashion to the rest of the HSIP. This would allow the LRMP program to be compared with other HSIP programs. KYTC should also consider a guideline that specifies that LRMP projects should be developed and procured in a 

timely manner. Currently, nearly 20% of approved LRMPs have not advanced to be advertised for construction. 

Action Plan

1. FHWA will work with KYTC to make a more formalized process for the LRMP program that includes appropriate project evaluation and prioritization as well as project development requirements to make the LRMP process match the 

implementation of the rest of the HSIP.

2. FHWA will encourage the State Highway Engineer’s Office to coordinate with the CO HSIP team concerning the LRMP program including possible discussions concerning individual project submissions as well as other important 

aspects of the program.
