Executive Summary

The purpose of the Georgia Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is to provide for a continuous and 

data-driven process that identifies and reviews specific traffic safety issues around the state to identify 

locations for potential safety enhancements. The ultimate goal of the HSIP process is to eliminate all roadway 

fatality & serious injury crashes on all Georgia’s roadways through the implementation of engineering solutions.

Each year, the Department sets aside safety funding to implement safety projects. The total HSIP funds 

allocated in a given fiscal year (FY) is approximately $ 100 million. In addition to this amount, the Department 

delivered an additional $25.1 million in safety focused projects for FY 21. These additional projects included 

intersection improvements, such as roundabouts, and signage improvements that span across several 

districts. Across the US, motor vehicle fatal crashes in 2020 estimated to be the highest in 13 years, despite 

dramatic drops in vehicles miles driven. There are an estimated 42,060 people to have died in motor vehicles 

crashes in 2020, a 24 percent increase to the previous year and the highest in 96 years. Georgia saw similar 

trends with a 14% increase in fatal crashes. The trends in fatal crashes increase in most emphasis areas, 

including roadway departure, lane departure, pedestrians and bicycles. City and County roadways saw a large 

increase in fatal crashes compared to the state routes system. Upon reviewing all fatal crashes reports there is 

one notable trend, speed. With volumes decreasing because of the pandemic there was observed speed 

increases up more than 10%. The assumption is that with less congestion the roadways are more open, and 

people felt more comfortable traveling higher rates of speeds. These trends are closely monitored by all 

highway safety professionals in Georgia and remain the focus of the state’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan 

(SHSP). 

The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) 

develops and supports the SHSP. The plan has specific Emphasis Area Task Teams that are organized to 

develop specific countermeasures. These teams have continued their work over the past year and remain a 

critical part of the SHSP, HSP and HSIP collaborative.

Over the past FY the GDOT Safety Program used a data-driven process to successfully locate viable safety 

projects that meet our HSIP goals. Projects that comprise the HSIP are usually moderately-sized projects that 

include safety improvements in the follow areas; intersection, pedestrian and bicycle, roadway departure, 

corridor, off-system, and high-risk rural roads. In addition, safety improvements identified through Road Safety 

Audits (RSA)s are pursued through district resources, local agencies, and capital projects. Safety projects may 

be nominated or identified from a large number of sources. RSAs are selected using Sliding Window in 

Numetric. This application allows the Department to utilize resources efficiently and develop a top 10 datadriven list for each District. The Safety Program then works with the District and local governments to confirm 

at least 14 RSAs for the FY. During the pandemic, the Safety Program was able to exceeds its goals and 

complete 15 RSAs by creating a virtual RSA process. This process will be highlighted in a ITE quick bite for 

other programs to replicate. 

Potential safety concerns reported by citizens, elected officials, local governments, city and county engineers, 

emergency agencies and metropolitan planning organizations are also accepted for analysis. A project may 

qualify as a safety project because of an existing safety problem, because of evidence that it will prevent an 

unsafe condition, or because it falls into one of several identified categories of improvements that are known to 

provide safety benefits. Examples of this last category include guardrail, traffic signals, railroad crossing 

warning devices, and most intersection improvements. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities are an important 

feature of the safety program, which is eligible for safety enhancement projects. Once a location has been 

identified, a crash screening is performed to confirm if there is a viable safety project. If viable, an intersection 

control evaluation (if applicable) and traffic engineering study is performed to confirm a safety benefit/cost (SBC) for a potential project.

Every Georgia DOT project is designed and constructed to meet or exceed federal safety guidelines. GDOT 

continues to look for still more ways to improve safety. Redefining our processes, revision of guidelines, and 

continued enhancement of Numetric is a highlight of these efforts. GDOT worked with FHWA, engineering 

consultants and local governments to test and validate the tools using examples from daily work to ensure the 

tools will support their efforts to identify potential safety project locations throughout the state on all public 

roads. The new tools have already provided significant safety benefits by reducing the time it takes to analyze 

and locate potential safety projects.

Additionally, the Office of Traffic Operations is refining and utilizing our crash data to improve safety and 

eliminate fatality crashes and reduce serious injuries crashes. This past year GDOT has been working closely 

with our safety partners and local law enforcement to improve the reporting accuracy in the State’s Motor 

Vehicle Crash Report. The effort to improve reporting accuracy will further advance the identification of 

potential safety enhancement opportunities for both engineered and behavioral countermeasures. These 

efforts continue to advance the overall objectives of the Governor’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

Cumulatively, GDOT has advanced several initiatives to promote safety on all Georgia roadways. We are 

building roundabout intersections, increasing the use of cable barrier on divided roadways, installing concrete 

medians, installing rumble strips, installing more retro-reflective signage, applying pavement markings, 

improving intersection conspicuity, installing high friction surface treatment, coordinating traffic signal timing, 

and installing pedestrian accommodations to make our roads safer for all users.

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 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 Reporting Guidance. Projects identified 

for the program are requested by our GDOT District Engineers, local governments and GDOT Central Office 

Engineers. All ideas are evaluated to determine if the proposed projects fit our HSIP program and support the 

SHSP. If a proposed project is determined to be a candidate for the HSIP it must compete with all other non 

systemic projects based upon its benefit : cost ratio. Those projects with the highest B:C are advanced based 

on our available funding capacity.

Following our planned HSIP budget, GDOT's program has the following core elements which will have some 

overlap:

Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety ($10-12.5 million)

Intersection Safety ($35-44 million)

Roadway and Lane Departure ($20-30 million)

High Risk Rural Roads ($6.5 million) 

Off System Safety ($7 million)

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

The state is continuing the high-risk rural roads program as part of the HSIP. Additionally, the state has an 

established Off System Safety (OSS) Program that works through the District coordinators. The Department 

employs District coordinators that work with the Department's District Traffic Operations and local government 

to identify a group of roads that are not part of the state highway system that have safety deficiencies. The 

District coordinators use a data-driven approach to identify potential safety enhancements on off-system roads 

and intersections. Score-cards for each county is developed as a part of the Safety Program’s data-driven 

approach. The score-card ranks named roads based on a weighted scale. Additionally, we have been working 

with FHWA and pilot counties to develop Local Road Safety Plans (LRSP) where local DOTs develop their own 

plans in coordination with GDOT. The goal is to get local governments to proactively think about and address 

road safety. Like our traditional approach, local governments would develop a list of roads and 

countermeasures based upon the LRSP. 

Once potential off-system safety projects are identified, the list is prioritized and selected by a review team. 

The cost of planned safety improvements is taken into consideration as well as the effectiveness of each 

countermeasure. The Department dedicates at least $1 million annually for each of the state's seven districts 

for off-system safety projects. This money is solely used to fund our off-system safety program. Additionally, 

larger HRRR projects are individually programmed using HSIP funds. The work normally consists of installing 

retro-reflective signage, applying pavement markings, installing rumble strips, intersection improvements or 

guardrail. GDOT has also programmed HRRR roundabout projects and has started off system sharp curve 

projects in the current year.

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

• Local Aid Programs Office/Division

• Maintenance

• Operations

• Planning

• Traffic Engineering/Safety

• Other-Office of Environmental Services

• Other-Other-District traffic engineers

Describe coordination with internal partners.

The Safety Program works closely with GDOT Maintenance and District Traffic Operations. Each month we 

meet with each of our seven districts and our safety design consulting teams. We work together to identify sites 

based on local knowledge and crash data. Additionally, as road maintenance plans are being developed the 

district traffic operations teams review sites and plans to ensure signs and pavement markings meet current 

specifications. We are also working with these teams to advance rumble strips and safety edge as part of all 

resurfacing projects. The traffic operations teams and HSIP/Safety Section work with our Off-System Local 

State Aid Coordinators to identify viable project locations using the data driven county report cards. 

The Office of Program Delivery (OPD) plays a large role in the delivery of safety projects for the Department. 

The Safety Program coordinates weekly with OPD to discuss ongoing safety projects, task orders, and 
2021 Georgia Highway Safety Improvement Program

upcoming safety projects to be transitioned. Coordination with other offices, such as Environmental Services, 

Utilities, Railroad Safety, Roundabout and Alternative Intersection Design (RAID), and Engineering Services, is 

key in the development and delivery of safety projects.

The Safety Program coordinates with Design Policy and our consulting team to update and refine pedestrian 

safety through the Pedestrian Streetscape Guide and coordinates these efforts with other GDOT offices to 

ensure design elements are incorporated when appropriate. We worked with these same teams to update our 

rumble strip/stripe details and the Design Policy Manual, when needed. We work with our Planning Office to 

educate MPOs on our 5 core performance measures and their roles. Lastly, the Safety Program works with our 

GDOT Materials and Testing partners to explore updates in our high friction surface treatment standards.

These activities are critical pieces to support the goals of the Serious Crash Type Task Team, OSS, HRRR 

efforts.

Identify which external partners are involved with HSIP planning. 

• Academia/University

• FHWA

• Governors Highway Safety Office

• Law Enforcement Agency

• Local Government Agency 

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

• Other-Public Safety & Local Law Enforcement

Georgia’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) involves a variety of internal and external partners at the 

federal, state and local levels as well as the private sector. The SHSP was updated and in place during FY 

2015 with Task Teams developing plans for the various Emphasis Areas. The task teams are comprised of a 

combination of engineering, emergency management, enforcement and education professionals who come 

from community organizations, private businesses, schools, and public institutions. The teams work together to 

establish measurable goal(s) that are designed to improve one or more of the established emphasis areas. 

Throughout the year, the teams track their progress against their goal(s). The teams report their progress to 

the participating groups and to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). Also, the GOHS holds semiannual Safety Program Leadership Meetings for the Executive Board and task team leaders. GDOT’s 

Pedestrian, Bicycle, Intersection and Roadway Departure Safety Action Plans are executed to implement 

engineering solutions to address highway safety problems. GDOT’s Safety Action Plans are key components 

of its HSIP and all are aligned with the goals of the state’s SHSP and a number of its Emphasis Areas.

Georgia’s SHSP Key Emphasis Areas are as follows:

Occupant Protection - Seatbelts and Air Bags

Serious Crash Type - Intersections, Keeping Vehicles on the Road - lane departure, Head-on and Cross

Median Crashes

Impaired Driver

Distracted Driving

Age related issues - Graduated Driver's Licensing, Younger Adult Drivers, Older Drivers 

Non-motorized User - Pedestrians, Bicyclists

Vehicle Type - Heavy Trucks, Motorcycles

Additionally, the following teams support the task teams by addressing unique needs associated with the 

teams goals.

Describe coordination with external partners.

GDOT works with local governments, agencies and MPOs to develop the HSIP. The groups connect with our 

Office of Planning, District Offices and directly to the Office of Traffic Operations. They can present project 

ideas, provide studies and relate public comment. Each request is examined to determine if it is a reasonable 

fit and eligible for HSIP funding. GDOT continues to work closely with the State's GOHS and MPOs to develop 

the state's safety performance targets. The process includes multiple presentations and working sessions. The 

crash data queries and data forecasting methodology was presented to local FHWA and NHTSA 

representatives last year and adopted by the TRCC working group. Over the past year GDOT has successfully 

launched a crash data query and analysis platform by partnering with Numetric Inc. The tools allow for graphic, 

spatial and tabular views of the states crash data. We have given multiple presentations to both internal and 

external partners. One example, GDOT Safety worked closely with FHWA and local government engineers to 

support the development of Local Road Safety Plans. We have also allowed both FHWA and local engineers 

to participate in our weekly conference call with Numetric Inc. This example highlights how Georgia's safety 

partners collaborate across organizational boundaries to advance safety for all road users.

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

elaborate. 

The State is continuing the enhancement of a web-based crash and network screening application that is 

available to all our safety partners. This tool promotes the rapid identification and analysis of all public road 

locations applying the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). This approach is improving how safety projects are 

identified for the Safety Program. New upcoming features are the auto-generated crash collision diagrams and 

intersection analysis tool. Additionally, we continue to improve our safety project tracking database (GOASIS). 

This database is accessible to GDOT and our engineering teams. The interface allows for tracking of projects 

as they work their way through the Plan Development Process (PDP). 

The Safety Program is also in the development of a new process to deliver certain safety projects in a more 

efficient manner. Projects that have no right-of-way, limited environmental impact, and follow HSIP procedures 

might have the ability to be delivered through an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type process. This 

new process is being explored within the Department and in coordination with FHWA for a potential Special 

Experimental Project (SEP)-14.

The Safety Program also redefined several procedures in the past year. The process for which a safety project 

is developed has been redefined into several steps to ensure the most viable safety projects are selected for 

Georgia’s roadways. The process starts by identifying a potential safety concern. A crash screening is a new 

tool that was developed recently by the Safety Program. This document's main purpose is to confirm a safety 

justification. If a strong justification is not provided the location goes into a monitoring status for a determined 

period. The crash screening provides high level information on a location’s geometric characteristics, 

evaluation of other projects in the area, probe speed data, GIS information, and traffic volumes. More 

importantly the crash screening provides a detailed review of the crashes at a given location by breaking out 

manner of collision, severity, and time. This analysis provides a look into what the potential crash trends are. 

The last section of a crash screening is the alternative analysis. Given the crash trends at the intersection, 

alternatives are proposed and a preliminary benefit-cost ratio is provided.

If the crash screening provides a justification for a safety project the analysis is moved to an intersection

control evaluation (ICE), if applicable. Alternatives proposed in the crash screening are evaluated and 

confirmed in stage 1 ICE. The most viable safety alternatives are selected for stage 2 ICE. The ICE tool ranks 

the final alternatives and provides a more defined benefit-cost. The alternative that has the highest ranking and 

benefit-cost, and shows to be a competitive safety project, is selected to move to the next stage, a traffic 

engineering (TE) study. A TE study can be performed once an alternative is selected from the ICE. The TE 

study takes the information gathered so far in the process and provides more details on the proposed project. 
2021 Georgia Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 10 of 58

For example, site visits are conducted to gain exact measures, update crash analysis, provide operational 

analysis, develop a layout, review of alternatives found in stage 2 ICE and recommendations. In addition, risk 

factors such as environmental, ROW, and utility are examined. 

A project is transitioned to OPD once a TE study has been signed. This is when the project is assigned a 

project identification (PI) number. A transition meeting is scheduled to discuss the project and what 

coordination needs to take place with other offices or agencies. Depending on the project size and complexity, 

additional meetings can be scheduled. A full or limited concept report is developed for most projects. This 

document provides additional information to confirm all applicable offices agree with the scope. Design on a 

project can start once a concept report is approved. Design may include one or several field plan meetings, 

scheduled at different stages of the design. This is to ensure the design is being done correctly. When the 

project package is complete the project is ready for construction letting. Once approved for letting, the project 

is sent out to GDOT prequalified contractors. All completed safety projects are reviewed to gain a bettering 

understanding of their effectiveness on Georgia roadways. A project is evaluated once there is an adequate 

amount of safety data for a project. Any improvements during this review are documented and can be used for 

similar future safety projects.

The RSA process was also revised to ensure the best process is in place to select locations using a safety 

data-driven and collaborative process. In addition to 14 RSA, additional RSAs are performed under the Safe 

Routes to School Program each year. These RSAs are focused on segments of roadways that are near 

schools and have documented crash trends. A top ten list of potential RSA locations for the upcoming fiscal 

year is developed for each District in the final quarter of a fiscal year. The projects are ranked in terms of 

potential safety benefit, which is directly derived from the frequency and severity of crashes along a segment of 

roadway. The list of potential RSA locations is shared with the corresponding District and other essential 

stakeholders. The goal is to select at least two RSAs per District. The Safety Program’s RSA team then 

collects data and performs preliminary analysis. All RSAs are performed in the first two quarters of a fiscal year 

to ensure there is enough time to develop recommendations and deliver a final report.

We have continued our partnership with Numetric Inc. to provide analytic tools to our safety teams. We 

successfully loaded our road data, boundary data and crash data into a single application that provides 

graphical, spatial and tabular views of data. Additionally, it supports network screening and local road safety 

plan development. Based on the analysis, the tools also provide countermeasure suggestions including CMFs

Does the State HSIP consider connected vehicles and ITS technologies? 

No

At this time we are not leveraging this technology, but over the past year the state has started exploring the 

opportunities that connected vehicles offer. As we continue to investigate the impact of newer technologies, the 

state will incorporate various components that align to our program development.

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.

GDOT has been working with our Numetric and engineering consultants to calibrate the state using our geolocated crash data loaded to our Numetric platform. We have been leveraging the Empirical Bayes method to 

identify roadways for analysis. Over the next several months we will be working to calibrate each of our seven 

districts. We will keep FHWA and our safety partners informed of our progress as we work with our network 

screening team and the web based crash analysis tools being developed by Numetric Inc. As part of the 

standard ranking criteria, the Numetric tools also include Equivalent Property Damage Only (ePDO) estimates 

for roads and road segments as well as a Relative Severity Index (RSI) and crash rate.

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

the future.

In previous years the state was challenged to obligate all available HSIP funds. We were often faced with 

projects being pushed into the next fiscal year because of design, ROW or environmental schedules. Over the 

past few years we have been actively improving our crash data, and we have enhanced project development 

and identification by executing our safety design contracts. This has allowed the HSIP team to actively seek 

out quality safety projects and advance them to the plan development process. By working closely with our 

design consultants and program delivery project managers, we have minimized the impacts created by shifting 

schedules. This helps to ensure that the department has the capability to deliver our annual HSIP 

commitments. 

We have accomplished these improvements to deliver and mitigate project delivery delays and scheduling 

impacts by working with the Office of Program Delivery (OPD) to ensure an efficient hand-off between the 

offices and clarify the plan delivery process. A project is transitioned from OTO Safety to OPD once a TE study 

has been signed. This is when the project is assigned a project identification (PI) number. A transition meeting 

is scheduled to discuss the project and what coordination needs to take place with other offices or agencies. 

Depending on the project size and complexity, additional meetings can be scheduled. A full or limited concept 

report is developed for most projects. This document provides additional information to confirm all applicable 

offices agree with the scope. Design on a project can start once a concept report is approved. Design may 

include one or several field plan meetings, scheduled at different stages of the design. This is to ensure the 

design is being done correctly. When the project package is complete the project is ready for construction 

letting. Once approved for letting, the project is sent out to GDOT prequalified contractors.

Provide additional discussion related to general highway safety trends.

Georgia DOT has been working with the SHSP TRCC / CODES and Data task teams to evaluate the coding of 

(A) Suspected Serious Injury data recorded on the state’s crash reports. We studied the consistency and 

alignment to EMS and hospital data. Based upon our findings, we reached out to our local FHWA and NHTSA 

representatives and advised them that we would be updating our (A) Suspected Serious Injury quantities. It is 

the state’s desire to continually improve the quality of our reporting, and this report reflects the revisions to our 

(A) Suspected Serious Injury data.

Safety Performance Targets

Safety Performance Targets

Calendar Year 2022 Targets *

Number of Fatalities:1671.0

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

During the period of 2015-2019, there was an increase in the unweighted 5-year rolling average number of 

traffic fatalities. Despite this increase in the averages, the actual number of traffic fatalities decreased in 2019 

compared to 2018. Using the 5-year rolling average and polynomial modeling (R2 of 0.99), The State's SHSP 

set the target to maintain traffic fatalities under the projected 1,696 (2018-2022 rolling average) by 2022. While 

the FY2022 target is considered an "increasing target" (a value greater than the baseline), it is a lower number 

compared to the previous FY2021 HSP target of 1,715 traffic fatalities (2017-2021 rolling average). 

Additionally, this established target takes into consideration preliminary crash data that shows an increase in 

the number of overall traffic fatalities in 2020

Number of Serious Injuries:8443.0

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

To maintain serious injuries in traffic crashes under the projected 8,443 (2018-2022 rolling average) by 2022. 

While the FY2022 target is considered an "increasing target" (a value greater than the baseline), it should be 

noted as mentioned earlier, this estimate is impacted by the recent updates to the state's crash report. In a few 

years, the trend line should reflect a reasonable trend solely based on the new injury definitions.

Fatality Rate:1.210

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

Since 2015, the 5-year rolling average traffic fatalities per 100M VMT has steadily increased. However, the rate 

decreased from 1.27 fatalities/100M VMT in 2016 to 1.12 in 2019. Using the 5-year rolling averaging method 

and polynomial modeling (R2 of 0.99), The State's SHSP set the target to maintain traffic fatalities per 100M 

VMT under the projected 1.21 (2018-2022 rolling average) by 2022. While the FY2022 target is considered an 

"increasing target" (a value greater than the baseline), it is a lower rate compared to the previous FY2021 HSP 

target of 1.23 fatalities/100M VMT (2017-2021 rolling average).

Serious Injury Rate:4.610

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

To maintain serious injuries in traffic crashes per 100M VMT under the projected 6.08 (2018-2022 rolling 

average) by 2022. While the FY2022 target is considered an "increasing target" (a value greater than the 

baseline), it should be noted as mentioned earlier, this estimate is impacted by the recent updates to the 

state's crash report. In a few years, the trend line should reflect a reasonable trend solely based on the new 

injury definitions.

Total Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries:793.0

Describe the basis for established target, including how it supports SHSP goals.
2021 Georgia Highway Safety Improvement Program

Page 47 of 58

Individually, the SHSP program goals state that we will maintain pedestrian fatalities under the projected 281 

(2018 - 2022 rolling average) by 2022, and maintain bicyclist fatalities under the projected 25 (2018 - 2022 

rolling average) by 2022.

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

safety performance targets. 

GDOT met multiple times with Governor's Office of Highway Safety, FHWA, the State's MPO's, NHTSA and 

our safety partners. In particular, the SHSP data team conducted several CODES and Data Task Team 

sessions to review the state's data and the state's approach to developing performance targets. GDOT 

presented the finding and approach to GDOT Planning and the State's MPOs. Additionally, we held separate 

meeting with FHWA and NHTSA regional representatives to discuss our serious injury data analysis efforts. 

We highlighted how the updates to the serious injury data will impact to our performance measures and data 

reporting.

Does the State want to report additional optional targets? 

No

Describe progress toward meeting the State’s 2020 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

Number of Fatalities 1698.0 1551.4

Number of Serious Injuries 24094.0 6382.0

Fatality Rate 1.280 1.242

Serious Injury Rate 21.800 5.101

Non-Motorized Fatalities and 

Serious Injuries

1163.0 665.0

Reviewing the number of Serious Injuries and the rate it is clear that the data has changed dramatically. The 

reasons for this change has been shared with both FHWA and NHTSA regional representatives. In 2016, the 

state adopted the MMUCC injury definitions. The new definitions were implemented through the state's revised 

crash report that was rolled out in 2018. Prior to this time, the state did not have a serious injury value on the 

crash report. Therefore, the SHSP CODES Task Team developed a Serious Injury estimate based on hospital 

records and motor vehicle crash data. Like the old crash report, the hospital injury codes do not align with 

MMUCC injury definitions. Now that our law enforcement officers are applying the correct definitions, we are 

able to pull crash data verses applying an estimated injury definition. Because the crash report has changed, it 

is impossible to back into the previous SI estimates. Therefore, it is necessary to use the data as is knowing 

that the serious injury targets will move to more appropriate measures in the near future.

Evaluation 

Program Effectiveness

How does the State measure effectiveness of the HSIP?

• Benefit/Cost Ratio

• Change in fatalities and serious injuries

• Other-Fatality Rates

Based on the measures of effectiveness selected previously, describe the results of 

the State's program level evaluations.

Over the past several years GDOT has aggressively pursued quality safety projects and enhanced our total 

program. The state has been divided into three geographic regions being served by three separate engineering 

teams. This approach has promoted improved communication and coordination between the department’s 

central office and our districts. We have consolidated our safety program projects into a web-based database 

that will support program tracking from origin through the Plan Development Process (PDP). GDOT has 

adopted an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) policy to ensure safety and alternative design is a core 

consideration when evaluating intersection traffic control options. The Department has updated the 

specifications for high friction surface treatment to help ensure reliable and consistent construction practices 

are followed. We have worked closely with law enforcement, software developers, the TRCC working group 

and executive board to bring the state's crash report into closer alignment with MMUCC 5th edition. The 

improved report and associated software will provide our safety teams the data needed to advance our safety 

programs outlined in the SHSP. We have identified and collected curve data to meet the MUTCD requirements 

for curve signing and are scheduling implementation with our districts and engineering consultants. We have 

launched our Numetric Inc. safety analytics software that incorporates the HSM EB methodology for ranking 

road segments and provides data analysis for our safety community. We have delivered an updated 

Pedestrian Streetscape Guide and Pedestrian Safety Action Plan to enhance pedestrian safety. Lastly, we 

have developed a Road Safety Audit Manual that will improve the selection and execution of RSAs.

All of the efforts support the improved identification of standalone projects such as roundabouts, intersection 

turn lanes or (reduced conflict U-turns) R-Cuts to address intersection safety and projects that are systemic 

such as rumble strips, cable barrier, guardrail end treatments, pavement marking and high friction surface 

treatment to address lane and roadway departure crashes. We have identified our pedestrian focus corridors 

and are delivering pedestrian hybrid beacons to address the states rising pedestrian fatality numbers. GDOT 

has identified interchanges that have common features and developed specific countermeasures to address 

wrong way driving crashes.

Overall, the state has put several key elements in place to curb the rise in motor vehicle fatalities and serious 

injuries. We are confident that these efforts have and will have a positive impact on the lives of Georgia's road 

users and support our Vision Zero goal.

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

success of the Highway Safety Improvement Program?

• # RSAs completed

• Increased awareness of safety and data-driven process

• Increased focus on local road safety

*Based on Functional Classification (MIRE 1.0 Element Number) [MIRE 2.0 Element Number]

Georgia is fortunate to have had forward thinking leadership which invested the time and resources to have established a reasonably complete geospatial inventory of all public roads well before ARNOLD or MIRE were introduced. 

Additionally, the department was one of the first to initiate the contract to implement ESRI’s Roads and Highways road inventory system. Based on the advantages introduced with the new system, the Georgia Department of 

Transportation, through the Office of Transportation Data, started a program in 2016 that is systematically verifying, updating, and collecting the MIRE fundamental data elements. This effort is being conducted in unison with the 12 

Georgia Regional Commissions, which cover the 159 Counties and 538 Cities within the state of Georgia. This multi-year, multi-agency effort will, in the end, provide more than the required 37 FDE for non-local paved roads, the 9 FDE 

for paved local roads, and the 5 required FDE for the unpaved roads.

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.

Glossary

5 year rolling average: means the average of five individuals, consecutive annual points of data 

(e.g. annual fatality rate).

Emphasis area: means a highway safety priority in a State’s SHSP, identified through a data-driven, 

collaborative process.

Highway safety improvement project: means strategies, activities and projects on a public road 

that are consistent with a State strategic highway safety plan and corrects or improves a hazardous 

road location or feature or addresses a highway safety problem.

HMVMT: means hundred million vehicle miles traveled.

Non-infrastructure projects: are projects that do not result in construction. Examples of noninfrastructure projects include road safety audits, transportation safety planning activities, 

improvements in the collection and analysis of data, education and outreach, and enforcement 

activities.

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
