Executive Summary

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

dedicated to improving safety of roadway users through education, engineering, enforcement and emergency 

medical services initiatives. Safety is one of MoDOT'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 and is regularly tracked and reviewed in MoDOT’s performance management system.

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 Toward 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.

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 benefits are attained.

Missouri has experienced a decreasing trend in fatalities since 2016. In 2019, there were 880 fatalities and 

4481 serious injuries on Missouri roadways. This decreasing trend could be attributed to the systemic 

initiatives and high benefit spot treatments being deployed as part of Missouri's HSIP program as well as other 

efforts to change the safety culture of Missouri's motorists, such as the Buckle Up/Phone Down campaign.

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 a three-year average of the number of fatalities and serious injuries 

occurring their areas. From there, each district identifies how their share of HSIP funds will be programmed in 

accordance with Missouri's SHSP and the latest safety research and 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. While 

Missouri's HSIP is lead by MoDOT, each project goes through a robust planning process and allows input from 

various stakeholders. Additionally, these projects are tied to strategies identified in the SHSP, which involved 

collaboration with various partners throughout the state. 

Where is HSIP staff located within the State DOT? 

 Operations

MoDOT's Highway Safety and Traffic Division leads the HSIP reporting effort. MoDOT's District Traffic Offices 

facilitate the selection of HSIP projects and implement the HSIP program. 

How are HSIP funds allocated in a State? 

• Formula via Districts/Regions 

MoDOT's 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 where fatalities 

and serious injuries are occurring. This new distribution will take effect in 2021. 

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

Crash data on local roadways are included in the Missouri Statewide Traffic Accident Records System 

(STARS) managed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP). MoDOT uses this data to evaluate all 

roadways in the state and place emphasis on where severe crashes are occuring. This analysis is performed 

for both intersections and non-intersection locations. This analysis method places weight towards the locations 
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 6 of 63

that have experienced a higher frequency of severe crashes and are identified as a location of interest. While 

most locations are on state system roadways, there are local roadway locations that make these lists. While 

the majority of the severe crash problem is located on the state system, non-state system needs are also 

investigated. More than half of non-state system fatalities occur in seven counties (Jackson, Jefferson, Greene, 

Boone, St. Charles, St. Louis City, and St. Louis County). A few years ago, local strategic highway safety plans 

(SHSP) were developed for the top counties experiencing severe crashes. The local SHSPs identified systemic 

countermeasures and projects. We also communicate the locations of interest to planning entities like our 

Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning Commissions. 

Missouri's LTAP center continues to move safety forward. MoDOT has begun piloting a Safety Circuit Rider 

program through the LTAP center. This program provides a safety expert to work with local agencies that may 

not have the staff required to develop a local road safety plan or identify safety countermeasures for issues in 

there community. 

Additionally, we have used Road Safety Assessments to investigate local road issues, a Transportation 

Engineering Assistance Program (TEAP) to assist local agencies, and the Missouri Coalition for Roadway 

Safety has a subcommittee that focuses on infrastructure improvement opportunities for local roads. 

Identify which internal partners (e.g., State departments of transportation (DOTs) 

Bureaus, Divisions) are involved with HSIP planning. 

• Design 

• Districts/Regions 

• Governors Highway Safety Office 

• Maintenance 

• Operations 

• Planning 

• Traffic Engineering/Safety 

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. 

Describe coordination with internal partners. 

MoDOT has focused for some time on system-wide safety solutions. Collaboration continues to take place with 

the Design Division to update MoDOT's Engineering Policy Guide, the Maintenance Division to improve 

roadsides, and the Planning Division to better evaluate and select safety needs for improvements. Training 

opportunities are offered to the internal partners mentioned previously, in topics such as 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. FHWA's 

resource center provides training for MoDOT staff on a variety of areas associated with safety, such as HSM 

training, IHSDM training, and STEP training. 

MoDOT has also established a process to report the safety benefits of all projects utilizing HSIP funds as part 

of an ongoing internal assessment of Missouri's HSIP program. This assessment is used as part of a vetting 

process for safety projects planned to be incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program. 

Identify which external partners are involved with HSIP planning. 

• Academia/University 
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

• FHWA 

• Governors Highway Safety Office 

• Law Enforcement Agency 

• Local Government Agency 

• Local Technical Assistance Program 

• Regional Planning Organizations (e.g. MPOs, RPOs, COGs) 

• Other-National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

• Other-Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 

• Other-Emergency Services, Department of Revenue, etc 

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 spot 

treatment projects. We also work with Missouri's LTAP center to continue to move safety forward. MoDOT is 

currently piloting a Safety Circuit Rider program through the LTAP center. 

Each project in Missouri has engagement with local agencies through MoDOT’s planning framework, starting 

with locals identifying and prioritizing projects through MoDOT’s regional process for programming into the 

STIP. MoDOT also collaborates with planning partners through monthly webinars, which include a safety 

update in each webinar. This is used to let partners know about safety issues, legislation, tools, challenges, 

opportunities, resources, up to date status on fatalities and trends, as well as safety target coordination. 

Describe HSIP program administration practices that have changed since the last 

reporting period. 

MoDOT went through an internal audit of their District Safety Plans which are used to identify safety needs in 

their areas as well as identify potential projects to address these needs. A more streamlined approach to 

determining needs was established and additional focus was placed on data driven safety analysis and 

training. 

MoDOT has hired a consultant to vet current processes to reporting on the safety benefits of all projects 

utilizing HSIP funds. This assessment will be used to promote consistency across the state as projects are 

assessed to be incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program. 

MoDOT's Engineering Policy Guide has also been updated to include various thresholds for deploying low cost 

systemic safety treatments based on risk factors. These systemic treatments are to be deployed on any 

MoDOT project as work takes place across the state. 

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

elaborate. 

Safety impacts are assessed for any project utilizing HSIP funds. These are tracked in MoDOT's internal 

project management system. This system has been updated to incorporate data required for the annual HSIP 

report, including items such as improvement category, subcategory, and SHSP relationship. This will 

streamline the annual HSIP reporting process.

• Other-Peer Exchange - lessons learned

All of the countermeasure identification processes listed here are applicable to MoDOT's countermeasure 

selection, although they vary depending on how the safety need was identified (Systemic, Spot, RSA). 

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

Yes 

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

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

zones. A pilot project is currently underway testing an autonomous TMA that follows a lead vehicle. 

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 clearinghouse. 

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. 
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 20 of 63

More recently, MoDOT developed a systemic evaluation tools for commonly used safety countermeasures. 

These tools provide information regarding the anticipated value that the systemic improvement may have, 

based on identified risk factors. 

Describe program methodology practices that have changed since the last reporting 

period. 

MoDOT continues to report the quantifiable safety benefits of all projects utilizing HSIP funds as part of an 

internal assessment of our HSIP program. This assessment is used as part of a vetting process for safety 

projects planned to be incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program. This process is 

currently under review by a consultant to improve accuracy and consistency in reporting amongst the various 

MoDOT districts. 

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

elaborate. 

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 lists of various 

locations of interest that identify where there may be 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 

Details regarding MoDOT's Safety Program can be found in MoDOT's Engineering Policy Guide 907.1.

Totals $55,916,000 $84,394,383 150.93%

One of the reasons for the difference between the total programmed funds and obligated funds is due to 

MoDOT's retroreflectivity striping and guardrail upgrades programs. Estimates for these programs were not 

included in the programmed numbers above. However, they are included in the obligated number above. 

Another item of note are the programmed and obligated 154 penalty (open container) funds. Given the fact that 

the federal fiscal year ends in September and the state fiscal year ends in June, there are some safety projects 

programmed with open container funds that could be obligated in the following state fiscal year.

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

the future.

The financial impact of COVID-19 has impacted Missouri's revenue. Transportation funding has been reduced, 

causing MoDOT to adapt by going to a month-to-month approval of projects. This is a significant change from 

the annual Statewide Transportation Improvement Program update that documents Missouri's planned safety 

projects. This temporary change in programming projects has also resulted in enhanced collaboration between 

the Planning, Financial Services, and Highway Safety and Traffic Divisions to ensure Missouri's HSIP is fully 

programmed. 

MoDOT actively practices asset management to ensure the maintenance of 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 an improved ability to determine HMVMT per functional class. Thus, rates in previous years have 

been recalculated. 

Sample size may be an issue with some of the rates due to low VMT for the functional classification. 

Data for this report was compiled in August 2020. 
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 39 of 63

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

One of the areas that has shown significant improvement is the performance of rural major collectors. This 

functional class continues to show a steady decline in crashes over the last few years. 

There have been over 100 non-motorized fatalities over the last 5 years and spiked last year to 127 fatalities. 

MoDOT has partnered with FHWA to organize Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) workshops to 

promote pedestrian safety initiatives.

MoDOT received additional funds from FHWA through an Accelerating Safety Activities Program (ASAP). 

These funds are to assist the development of the Missouri Systemic Countermeasures to Improve Pedestrian 

Safety (MoSCIPS) project. This effort would use data-driven safety analysis to develop guidance to prioritize 

and select pedestrian countermeasures specific to Missouri’s conditions.

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2021 Targets *

Number of Fatalities:871.6

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

Targets are based on an annual reduction needed to reach Zero fatalities by 2030. This reduction assumes 

larger decreases in future years as new safety technologies are implemented, such as autonomous vehicles. 

This target is in line with the SHSP to reduce the number of fatalities on Missouri's roadways.

Number of Serious Injuries:4463.9

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

Targets are based on an annual reduction needed to reach Zero serious injuries by 2040. This target is in line 

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

Fatality Rate:1.119

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 performance 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:5.829

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 performance 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.
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 40 of 63

Total Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries:462.2

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

The non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries performance target was based on the performance targets for 

number of fatalities (Zero by 2030) and number of serious injuries (Zero by 2040). An exception is made for 

instances where the baseline 5-year rolling average (2015-2019) is less than the calculated target. In this 

instance, the baseline is less than the calculated performance target, and so the baseline was used as the 

target. This target is in line with the SHSP to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries on Missouri's 

roadways.

Performance Measures for Fatalities, Fatality Rate, and Serious Injuries were set based on what was reported

in the Highway Safety Plan.

Performance Measures for Serious Injury Rate and Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries were set 

based on crash data available in August 2020 for use in the Highway Safety Improvement Program Annual 

Report.

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

safety performance targets. 

Missouri's Highway Safety Office is 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. The team included external partners from emergency management, FHWA, 

FMCSA, hospitals, law enforcement, Missouri Department of Revenue, MPOs, NHTSA, Regional Planning 

Commissions (RPCs), and universities. 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 review of feedback from partner groups, the methods and 

assumptions used to develop the performance targets were finalized in April. MoDOT then applied the agreed 

upon methodology to develop the safety performance targets and communicated them with the partners.

Does the State want to report additional optional targets? 

No

Describe progress toward meeting the State’s 2019 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.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES TARGETS ACTUALS

Page 41 of 63

Serious Injury Rate 6.168 6.209

Non-Motorized Fatalities and 

Serious Injuries

445.4 467.8

Based on the data available at the time of reporting, the actual 2019 performance was worse than the 2019 

targets, for each of the safety performance targets. This is primarily due to an increase in fatalities and serious 

injuries which occurred within the 5 year average reporting period. This is consistent with what was 

experienced nationally during this timeframe, meaning there were external factors, beyond the HSIP program, 

that were influencing the increase in fatalities. Fatalities reached a low point in 2013 with 757 fatalities and 

climbed to 947 in 2016. A similar increasing trend occurred for serious injuries which climbed from 4573 in 

2015 to 4887 in 2017. This increasing trend in fatalities and serious injuries has since been halted and Missouri 

is now seeing a decreasing number of fatalities and serious injuries. This decreasing trend could be attributed 

to the systemic initiatives and high benefit spot treatments being deployed as part of Missouri's HSIP program 

as well as other efforts attempting to change the safety culture of Missouri's motorists. 

It should be noted that as of August 2020, fatalities are higher compared to this same point last year. MoDOT 

is looking into some of the contributing factors for this increase and will collaborate with the Missouri Coalition 

for Roadway Safety to reverse this rising trend.

Evaluation

Program Effectiveness 

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP? 

• Benefit/Cost Ratio 

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries 

• Lives saved 

• Other-Evaluation of individual HSIP projects and programs 

MoDOT reports on the safety benefits, such as benefit/cost ratio and lives saved, of all projects utilizing HSIP 

funds as part of an internal assessment of their HSIP program. This assessment is used as part of a vetting 

process for safety projects planned to be incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program. 

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 2014 and 2018, 

horizontal curve fatalities and serious injuries on minor roads decreased from 622 to 513. 

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

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program? 

• HSIP Obligations 

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

There are other success indicators that MoDOT has seen some improvement but they are not currently being 

reported on. These indicators include: 

• # of RSAs completed 

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process 

• Increased focus on local road safety 

• More systemic programs 

Describe significant program changes that have occurred since the last reporting 

period. 

MoDOT performed an internal audit of the planning process District's use to identify safety projects. The audit 

identified several areas to streamline the process and place additional emphasis in coordination, evaluation, 

and training efforts.

Missouri’s Safety Circuit Rider Program (SCR) is now underway. Funded by FHWA with a State Transportation 

Innovation Councils (STIC) Incentive Program grant, the SCR will provide assistance in identifying local safety 

concerns and implementing low-cost counter measures. The program also aims to provide guidance in 

applying for additional funding where warranted to Local Public Agencies (LPA) with limited or no in-house 

transportation safety engineering resources.

An internal assessment of J-turns (RCUTs) is currently taking place. This effort was undertaken to update 

expectations for crash impacts when communicating with the public. Results are still preliminary. An initial read 

of the data appears to confirm the high reductions in fatal and serious injuries associated with this design. The 

data also appears to show an increase in PDO crashes.

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 multiple methods over the next several years to meet the requirements for the collection of FDE’s 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. 
2020 Missouri Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 61 of 63

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 $3 million annually. After a complete inventory 

of the other FDE’s is 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. Assuming that MoDOT would receive an additional $3 million annually and 

choose to spend it on our traffic collection program, the AADT data for Local paved Roads could be completed by September 30, 2026.

Older driver special rule: applies if traffic fatalities and serious injuries per capita for drivers and 

pedestrians over the age of 65 in a State increases during the most recent 2-year period for which 

data are available, as defined in the Older Driver and Pedestrian Special Rule Interim Guidance 

dated February 13, 2013.

Performance measure: means indicators that enable decision-makers and other stakeholders to 

monitor changes in system condition and performance against established visions, goals, and 

objectives.

Programmed funds: mean those funds that have been programmed in the Statewide Transportation 

Improvement Program (STIP) to be expended on highway safety improvement projects.

Roadway Functional Classification: means the process by which streets and highways are 

grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of service they are intended to provide.

Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP): means a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary plan, based on 

safety data developed by a State Department of Transportation in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 148.

Systematic: refers to an approach where an agency deploys countermeasures at all locations across 

a system.

Systemic safety improvement: means an improvement that is widely implemented based on high 

risk roadway features that are correlated with specific severe crash types.

Transfer: means, in accordance with provisions of 23 U.S.C. 126, a State may transfer from an 

apportionment under section 104(b) not to exceed 50 percent of the amount apportioned for the fiscal
