ODOT's HSIP now prioritizes projects in low-income areas, where fatal crashes are 9.8% higher. They allocate 10% of scoring to economic factors and offer reduced local match requirements for disadvantaged communities.
DelDOT combats rising traffic fatalities by adopting context-sensitive speed limits, partnering with local agencies, and moving beyond the 85th percentile method.
Incorporating Safety Analysis into Virginia’s Transportation Funding Prioritization Process
Virginia
Virginia's SMART SCALE program prioritizes transportation projects for funding based on safety, congestion, accessibility, land use, environmental quality, and economic viability.
TxDOT's video sharing platform streams real-time video from 3,000 traffic cameras to department staff, first responders, and other partners, allowing them to respond to emergency events while minimizing congestion and secondary crashes.
MassDOT’s FoRRRwD initiative provided municipalities with low-cost safety countermeasures. As countermeasures were implemented, MassDOT noted reduced crashes and serious injuries from crashes.
NJDOT's Systemic Approach to Safety focuses on proactively addressing crash risk by widely implementing low-cost, proven effective countermeasures throughout a roadway network. The systemic approach considers elements not typically identified through traditional approaches.
