| Abstract | This report provides a summary of a peer exchange sponsored by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). The peer exchange convened Vermont’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Core Group to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Vermont’s current SHSP and to identity the opportunities and next steps for updating Vermont’s plan. Vermont’s safety team’s goal is to create a plan that will engage leadership and provide guidance for programs and policies to reduce serious injury crashes and fatalities on Vermont’s roadways. The event focused on sharing knowledge and noteworthy practices for developing and implementing an effective SHSP. Selected peers included the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). Criteria for selecting peers included states with a record of creating effective SHSPs, developing strategies for recording and tracking data, and using performance measures to track progress. The action plan developed from the peer exchange will ultimately identify champions for each action item as well as a timeline for deliverables. The Core Group will continuously monitor the SHSP’s performance and recommend changes, as needed. |
