| Abstract | A Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a statewide-coordinated safety plan that provides a comprehensive framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. An SHSP is developed in a cooperative process with State, Federal, local, Tribal, and other public- and private-sector safety stakeholders. It is a data-driven, multiyear comprehensive plan that establishes statewide goals, objectives, and key emphasis areas and integrates the 4 Es of highway safety—engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services (EMS). The SHSP allows highway safety programs and partners in a State to work together in an effort to align goals, leverage resources, and collectively address the State’s safety challenges. States must develop the SHSP in consultation with stakeholders identified in legislation, such as representatives of major modes of transportation; Federal, State, local, and Tribal safety stakeholders; State and local traffic enforcement officials; etc. A State also may wish to consult with additional stakeholders depending on their transportation safety needs. There are other agencies and organizations that are interested in traffic safety, and could be valuable contributors to an SHSP effort, such as Departments of Health and Education, major employers, colleges and universities, etc. When identifying SHSP partners—think broadly. |
