15. How Do We Obtain Safety National Agenda on Highway Safety 2007 “Congress should adopt the goal of reducing highway fatalities by half over two decades…” Indiana’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) sets benchmarks for progress.

40. Finding the Worst of the Worst Agencies need to monitor safety on their roads http://www.crashreports.in.gov/Public/Home.aspx Road Safety Audits (RSA) are a good AND REQUIRED tool to establish safety needs The RSA Report will contain Crash Analysis, Needs Analysis, Reasons that the proposed improvement is preferred, the Cost Estimate and a Financial Analysis.

41. What Does HSAC Look For? 1)Does the candidate project address the worst severe crash safety need? 2)Does the candidate project demonstrate a workable plan to address the need? Road Safety Audit (RSA) Report is best practice 3)Is the candidate project financially sound? 4)Does the project address a goal in the SHSP* *Compliance with the SHSP is a REQUIREMENT! 1)Does the candidate project address the worst severe crash safety need? 2)Does the candidate project demonstrate a workable plan to address the need?

42. Urban Local Traffic Safety Partners URBAN AREAS: Metropolitan Planning Agency - Groups 1-4 Cities and MPO’s are prime partners for Traffic Safety MPO’s have a responsibility to guide good choices for the use of HSIP funding URBAN AREAS: Metropolitan Planning Agency - Groups 1-4 Cities and MPO’s are prime partners for Traffic Safety MPO’s have a responsibility to guide good choices for the use of HSIP funding

43. Rural Local Traffic Safety Partners RURAL AREAS: Groups 3 & 4 The prime safety partners are Cities, Towns, Counties and RPOs. LTAP will assist local agencies in making good safety choices through the Hazard Elimination Project for Existing Roads and Streets The“HELPERS” Project RURAL AREAS: Groups 3 & 4 The prime safety partners are Cities, Towns, Counties and RPOs. LTAP will assist local agencies in making good safety choices through the Hazard Elimination Project for Existing Roads and Streets The“HELPERS” Project

44. Who Are These HELPERS? Assistance – Guide Rural Group 3 & 4 LPA’s in making application for federal safety funds Advice – Provide a point of contact to get safety questions answered. Road Safety Audits – They can facilitate Safety Investigation Teams and advise on RSA Reports Funding Guidance - Help you determine if your proposed project could qualify for Federal Safety Funding Assistance – Guide Rural Group 3 & 4 LPA’s in making application for federal safety funds Advice – Provide a point of contact to get safety questions answered.

45. Gatekeepers: HSIP Projects In Urban Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Areas the MPO’s will apply the HSIP Guidance for the application and selection of projects to use locally assigned federal aid safety funds. (Final Selection is subject to HSAC finding of Eligibility and MPO Executive Committee action.) In Rural Group 3 and 4 Areas the LTAP HELPERS project will receive and pass-on LPA project applications that request federal aid safety funds to the HSAC for review and approval.
