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.

In October 2012, Missouri introduced the updated Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and 

established a highway safety goal of 700 or fewer fatalities by 2016. Missouri’s Blueprint to 

Save More Lives 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 are attained.

Since 2005, Missouri has experienced a steady decline in both fatalities and serious injuries each 

year for six consecutive years. During that time, fatalities decreased by 38 percent (1,257 in 2005 

to 784 in 2011) and serious injuries decreased by 35 percent (8,621 in 2005 to 5,644 in 2011).

While crash data is still not complete for 2012, the serious injuries are expected to once again 

decrease. However, the fatalities in 2012 increased to 826.

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.

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 50% of our non-state system fatalities are in 5 

counties. Efforts are currently underway to address this finding as a consultant has 

been retained to provide detailed local roadway analysis for the top counties. The anticipated 

product is the development of a Local SHSP, which will identify systemic countermeasures and 

high priority projects. It is our goal also to begin using Safety Analyst to better analyze and 

identify the safety needs of Missouri roadways. To date we have communicated the problem 

locations to the planning entities like to Metropolitan Planning Organizations. 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.

Briefly describe coordination with internal partners. 

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

Design Division to address our Engineering Policy, we have worked with our Operations and 

Maintenance staff to improve the roadsides, we have worked with the 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.

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

overcome this in the future.

Impediments are generally related to under-programming HSIP funding. We have not modified 

the HSIP programming amounts to match the MAP-21 allocation for our state.

As we begin to program HSIP on the local roads, we anitcipate potential obligation issues as 

locals may not be familiar with federal requirements.

Describe any other aspects of the general Highway Safety Improvement Program implementation 

progress on which you would like to elaborate.

The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety is committed to improving safety on our roadways.

Much of the success beyond the safety engineering relates to grass-roots efforts that have been 

initiatied in each of the seven regions in the state utilizing the other E's (enforcement, 
2013 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

23

education, and EMS) to improve the overall safety on our roadways.

It is also important to note that Missouri is committed to sharing safety solution information to 

the nation. This technology transfer has been instrumental in the progress Missouri has made 

towards reducing fatal and serious injury crashes on all roadways.

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

Missouri has focused a great deal of effort towards minimizing the lane departure crash types 

(run-off-road and head-on). Much of the effort to date has been on the Major Road system, 

which accounts for 5,600 centerline miles of system (this system accounted for over 50 percent 

of the state system fatalities). The state system historically has seen about 75 percent of the 

fatalities for the entire state roadway fatalities (over 130,000 centerline miles of roadways -

includes local roads).

The countermeasures installed on the Major Road system include a wider stripe (6 inch), an 

improved shoulder that includes a rumble stripe, bigger and brighter signs, and other visibility 

measures (such as delineators and tabs). The Major Road system has seen a nearly 50 percent 

decline in fatalities since 2005.

This same effort is now beginning on much of the lower order system that appears overrepresented in regards to roadway fatalities. Additional efforts include intersection 

improvements (much in relation to our expressway intersections), improving our Top 200 

horizontal curves, installing chevrons on curves based on MUTCD, implementing the high 

friction surface treatments, implementing wrong-way driver countermeasures, and beginning 

efforts to improve safety on local roads (beginning by developing County SHSPs for top counties 

in the state).

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

Since the FY 2012 reporting period, Missouri has implemented some systemic countermeasures 

that are high priority for use of the Section 154 funding source. These initiatives include 

intersection safety countermeasures on the high need expressway intersections, improving the 

Top 200 horizontal curves, installing improved shoulders with rumble stripes on routes with 

1,800 average daily traffic or greater, installing the high friction surface treatments, 

implementing wrong-way driving countermeasures, and implementing systemic safety 

countermeasures on local roads based on the County SHSPs.

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

which you would like to elaborate. 

The HSIP effectiveness is proven with lives saved. With the implementation of Missouri's 3rd 

SHSP in January 2013 (Missouri's Blueprint to Save More Lives) a new fatality reduction goal 

was established and additionally Missouri adopted a "Towards Zero Deaths" vision. Missouri 

has a very strong Coalition for Roadway Safety with outstanding leadership and commitment to 

achieve our goals. Ultimately, Missouri is committed to driving down the roadway fatalities not 

only in our state, but the nation. We are continuing to implement strategies to save more lives 

on our roadways and we continue to share these ideas to other states.

Our commitment to improving roadway safety is allowing more families to see their loved ones 

at night. In 2005, Missouri had 1,257 roadway deaths. By 2016, we hope to have reduced the 

number of roadway deaths to 700 or fewer in our state. Our commitment to safety will allow 

more Missourians to Arive Alive.
