Abstract The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN DOT) hosted a peer exchange February 3-4, 2015, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The event included peer representatives from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NV DOT), the Ohio Department of Transportation (Ohio DOT), and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) and was supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety’s Roadway Safety Professional Capacity Building Program and the FHWA Minnesota Division Office. Minnesota completed its SHSP update in summer 2014; understanding how to effectively take the SHSP from plan to implementation is now of primary importance. The focus of the event was to gather states that have done a particularly good job on implementation and gain input on how to apply those methods in Minnesota. Minnesota’s goal is to create a living SHSP that results in concrete actions that sustain the energy and momentum created during the SHSP update. This peer exchange consisted of peer presentations followed by facilitated discussions. Several themes emerged from the peer presentations as strengths in the SHSP implementation process. These included: • Supportive organizational structure for SHSP management. • Critical emphasis area (CEA) teams and action plans. • Process for ongoing stakeholder engagement. • Coordinated SHSP marketing approach. • Tracking and monitoring process in place. • “Living” element of the plan.
