| Abstract | For local agencies to mount a successful effort toward reducing motor vehicle collisions and their costs, an effective systematic approach must be taken. A Safety Management System (SMS) has two basic components: a collaborative information exchange network and an eight-element transportation safety decision support process. A SMS gives decision makers and those who manage and maintain local roadways the tools to systematically identify, prioritize, correct, and evaluate the performance of their transportation safety investments. This webpage explains the goal and basic operating process of a SMS. |
