Book excerpt: To reduce traffic fatalities and accidents, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) nearly doubled funding for the Fed. Hwy. Admin¿s. (FHWA) Hwy. Safety Improvement Program, authorizing $5.1 billion for 2006 through 2009. SAFETEA-LU also added requirements for states to develop strategic hwy. safety plans that cover all aspects of hwy. safety, including infrastructure, behavioral (education and enforcement), and emergency medical services projects; develop crash data analysis systems; and publicly report on the top 5% of hazardous locations on all their public roads. This testimony provides preliminary information on the implementation of HSIP since SAFETEA-LU. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 43,000 people died and another 290,000 were seriously injured on the nation's roads in 2006. To reduce these numbers, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) nearly doubled funding for the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). SAFETEA-LU added requirements for states to develop strategic highway safety plans that include four key elements and to publicly report on at least the top 5 percent of hazardous locations on all of their public roads. The act also set aside funds for a legacy rail-highway crossing program and a new high-risk rural road program. As requested, GAO examined (1) states' implementation of HSIP following SAFETEA-LU, (2) HSIP results to date, and (3) FHWA's guidance and assistance to states. GAO analyzed plans from 25 states, including 19 randomly selected states and 6 states that GAO visited. GAO also interviewed FHWA and state safety officials.

Download or read book Comparative Case Studies of Corridor Safety Improvement Efforts written by Jack D. Jernigan and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, following a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 322, Pennsylvania's governor directed Pennsylvania's secretary of transportation to develop immediate, short-term measures to improve safety on the roadway. In response, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) led a multidisciplinary team that developed a fourteen-point safety plan for the corridor. PennDOT immediately declared the initiative a success and implemented similar efforts statewide. The Federal Highway Administration heard about these programs, named Corridor Safety Improvement Programs (CSIPs), and encouraged other states to use them. Following Pennsylvania, numerous states, including Virginia and California, developed CSIPs. Further, in 1997, a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 28 in Virginia led to Virginia's governor directing Virginia's secretary of transportation to improve safety on the roadway, as had happened in Pennsylvania. This study investigates these safety efforts to determine the factors associated with effectiveness. The researcher presents model guidelines for developing effective corridor safety programs.
