Project Objectives The objective of this FHWA project is to develop an informational guide and data collection/verification/update tools to enable agencies to meet the MAP-21 and FAST acts requirements to improve safety. The purpose of the guide and tools will be to facilitate data collection on non-State-owned roadways by giving the agencies definitive guidance on how to collect and integrate with broader statewide systems, provide tools that can be applied during collection, and to initiate collection efforts through in-person onsite trainings.
