SHRP2 Program: Overview Save lives. Save money. Save time. $218 million, federally funded research program to address critical transportation challenges: Making highways safer Fixing deteriorating infrastructure Reducing congestion Collaborative effort of AASHTO, FHWA, and TRB Aims to advance innovative ways to plan, renew, operate, and improve safety on the Nation's highways These and many other new transportation solutions are the result of $218 million in federally funded research. SHRP2 – short for the Second Strategic Highway Research Program - was authorized in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Builds on the success of the original SHRP (1988-1993) which resulted in Superpave and other advances in maintenance and operations. SHRP2 implementation is led by FHWA in cooperation with AASHTO. The research was completed by TRB and TRB still closely supports the implementation efforts.

SHRP2 Program: Focus Areas Safety: fostering safer driving through analysis of driver, roadway and vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, and ordinary driving Renewal: maintaining and repairing the deteriorating infrastructure using already-available resources Reliability: managing non-recurring events to create more predictable travel times Capacity: building a highway system that creates minimum disruption and meets the environmental, and economic needs of the community. Nearly all of the 90+ projects have evolved from a pressing need at the state and local level. Four focus areas: Safety is conducting the largest ever on-the-road driving study to better understand the interaction among various factors involved in highway crashes—driver, vehicle, and infrastructure—so that better safety countermeasures can be developed and applied to save lives. Renewal is developing technologies and institutional solutions to support more rapid and systematic rehabilitation of highway infrastructure in a way that presents minimal disruption to users, and results in longer-lasting facilities.      Reliability is developing analytical techniques, design procedures, and institutional approaches to address events—such as crashes, work zones, special events, and inclement weather—that result in unpredictable congestion and make travel times unreliable. Capacity research is developing tools that will integrate environmental, economic, and community requirements into the analysis, planning, and design of new highway capacity to align them with community goals so that delays due to conflicts can be avoided.  

SHRP2 Program: Implementation $90M Funds already available MAP-21 Funding provides 4% of SP&R funding Totals approx $58 M FHWA plans to contribute $7-8 M additional 2/3 of the money comes back to the states in demo’s SHRP2 Implementation is a substantial program that will result in demonstration projects, technical assistance, peer exchanges and workshops and other tools to support the state DOT’s and other users in implementing the products.

SHRP2 Program: Implementation The 3-year program currently includes implementation of 28 products over the course of 4-5 years. 7 projects have begun the implementation planning process this year, including L12. Each year another 6-7 products will be introduced. Pam to introduce Paul Jodoin and Tim Lane

Training in Your State Getting all the players to the table BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES Getting all the players to the table Acceptance of receiving the training Sustainability Need more information on potential barriers and challenges and approaches to overcome these

Training in Your State Why get this training? Access to the most up-to-date, multi-agency standards and best practices successfully used across the nation to improve on-scene responder and motorist safety. Develops qualified trainers for your state with uniform practices and advanced standards. All TIM Players attend the training creating a unified “team” approach allows the roads to be cleared faster Training modules are flexible and can incorporate local or state regulations or techniques. Three injury crashes occur every minute in the United States, putting nearly 39,000 incident responders potentially in harm’s way every day. Congestion from these incidents often generates secondary crashes, further increasing traveler delay and frustration. The longer Incident responders remain at the scene, the greater the risk they, and the traveling public, face. Minimizing the time and resources required for incident clearance is essential to meeting our goals for safety and reliability. Having well-trained responders that can more quickly reduce the time it takes to clear accidents, offering the benefits of reduced congestion and lost travel time for travelers, as well as the potential to better protect our incident responders.

Saves Lives, Saves Money, Saves Time Training in Your State RESULTS In Atlanta, GA, improved incident response practices reduced secondary crashes by 69 percent in 12 months, saving lives and more than $1 million in delays. Saves Lives, Saves Money, Saves Time You’ve already heard from Mike Flynn on the Initiatives in Ohio…now consider what has happened in Georgia Training has been held in Virginia, Florida, Montana, Arizona, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Colorado. The International Association of Chiefs of Police, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Volunteer Fire Council have endorsed the program.
