Download or read book Coordinating State and Regional Transportation Safety Planning Through the SHSP Process written by and published by . This book was released on 2014* with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local and regional governments have important roles to play in identifying and addressing safety issues on roadways within their jurisdictions. Congress recognized this need and passed legislation in 1998 requiring safety consideration in transportation plans at the local, regional, and State levels. Efforts have since been underway to increase the explicit consideration of safety in these planning processes. More recently, the focus has shifted to improving the linkage between Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs) and transportation planning documents, notably Statewide and Metropolitan Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTPs), which are required to consider strategies and services to improve the safety of the transportation system.

Download or read book Performance Based Planning and Programming Guidebook written by Michael Michael Grant and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ICF International and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), along with experts from the transportation industry, collaborated to produce the Performance-Based Planning and Programming Guidebook. Over the past two decades, transportation agencies have increasingly applied performance management-a strategic approach that uses performance data to support decisions to help achieve desired performance outcomes. Performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) refers to the application of performance management within planning and programming processes of transportation agencies to achieve desired performance outcomes for the multimodal transportation system. This guidebook describes the PBPP process and provides examples of effective practices to help practitioners advance these approaches in their own planning and programming activities.

Download or read book SHSP HSP Crosswalk written by Rudynah Capone and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical report examined the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and Highway Safety Plan (HSP) documents of Louisiana to conduct a crosswalk analysis and determine where highway safety strategies in both plans overlap, co-exist, duplicate, or intersect. Targets, approaches, and strategies between the two planning documents were comparatively examined. Although there were strategies that were unique, it was found that numerous programs overlapped and co-existed. They were similar in nature, thereby promising an opportunity to leverage resources. They may mitigate gaps of implementation, reduce duplication of efforts, and capitalize on opportunities for collaboration. To be specific, programs overlapped in the emphasis areas of impaired driving, occupant protection, crashes involving young drivers, and distracted driving. Intersection and roadway departure solutions for infrastructure and operations are highly prioritized in the SHSP, but not in the HSP. This, however, should not discount opportunities for the integration of human factors in the HSP. Despite these distinctions, both plans revolve around the same vision: zero deaths. This vision replicates the National Strategy on Highway Safety Toward Zero Deaths that 30 states, including Louisiana, have adopted. A clear understanding of where engineering meets human factors will guide departments of transportation (DOT), state highway safety offices (SHSOs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), and local public agencies (LPAs) in integrating highway safety into the overall planning and decision-making process. Safety for non-motorized users such as bicyclists and pedestrians is also addressed in both plans but in slightly different approaches. SHSP focuses on engineering coupled with education while HSP zooms into the education aspect without engineering elements.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These proceedings contain a summary of the Transportation Research Board conference on U.S. and international approaches to performance measurement for transportation systems that was conducted on September 9-12, 2007, at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center of the National Academies in Irvine, California. The theme for this third in a series of international conferences, Better Decisions and Better Communication, was selected to highlight opportunities for and experiences in using performance measurement as a strategic tool to better communicate goals and objectives and results to a wide range of stakeholder groups. Presentations highlighted cases in which performance measures have proved useful in guiding resource allocation decisions, improving day-to-day operations, establishing and demonstrating agency competency and accountability and, in some instances, making the case for more resources. The conference consisted of five plenary sessions, each followed by a series of corresponding, concurrent breakout sessions. The topics of the five plenary sessions were Performance Measures as an Organizational Management Tool to Establish Accountability, Communicating Performance Results Effectively to Your Customers, Data and Tools, Hot Topics (addressing the use of performance measures to gauge the effectiveness of tolling and congestion pricing and other innovative transportation strategies to address sustainability and safety issues), and Performance-Based Contracting and Measuring Project Delivery. Three resource papers were developed for the conference. The conference attracted 180 participants from Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States and featured 70 transportation specialists offering real-world expertise, from the application of performance metrics to case studies drawn from six countries. This range of experiences provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of the performance measurement techniques and approaches being applied to transportation systems in the United States and abroad."--Pub. desc.

Book excerpt: Rising awareness of and increased attention to sexual harassment has resulted in momentum to implement sexual harassment prevention efforts in higher education institutions. Work on preventing sexual harassment is an area that has recently garnered a lot of attention, especially around education and programs that go beyond the standard anti-sexual harassment trainings often used to comply with legal requirements. On April 20-21, 2021, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted the workshop Developing Evaluation Metrics for Sexual Harassment Prevention Efforts. The workshop explored approaches and strategies for evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of sexual harassment interventions being implemented at higher education institutions and research and training sites, in order to assist institutions in transforming promising ideas into evidence-based best practices. Workshop participants also addressed methods, metrics, and measures that could be used to evaluate sexual harassment prevention efforts that lead to change in the organizational climate and culture and/or a change in behavior among community members. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
