| Abstract | This document provides an evaluation process model (EPM) that States can use to support a program evaluation of their Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). Program evaluation looks at the overall SHSP and helps States assess their SHSP’s process and performance. Safety improvements depend on a program of data-driven priorities and proven effective strategies. Evaluation helps States achieve such a program by determining whether current SHSP activities deserve enhancement, revision, or replacement. In addition, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) requires regularly recurring SHSP evaluation to ensure the accuracy of data and proposed strategies; the EPM can help States address this evaluation requirement as well. The EPM features discussions on four basic evaluation components (planning for evaluation, process evaluation, performance evaluation, and using evaluation results). For each component, the document provides background information and recommended actions, as well as checklists (Chapters 1 and 4) and self assessment questions (Chapters 2 and 3) for practitioners to use to evaluate their SHSP. SHSP leaders and managers can benefit from considering the information and recommendations in this document. Regions, localities, tribes, and others may also find the EPM useful for evaluating safety plans. |
