• Abstract:
  Safety has always been an important component in the planning, design, and operation of highways. In an effort
  
  to reduce crashes occurring on highway facilities, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation
  
  Equity Act - A Legacy for Users of 2005 established a new Highway Safety Improvement Program that
  
  encourages the integration of safety into the decision-making process and facilitates the expenditure of funds for
  
  highway safety improvement. A framework for highway safety mitigation is outlined in this report that provides
  
  a logical and comprehensive context within which efforts to improve highway safety can be made. This
  
  framework has been developed around the Roadway Safety Management Process contained in the Highway
  
  Safety Manual and has six primary steps: 1) Network Screening; 2) Diagnosis; 3) Countermeasure Selection;
  
  4) Economic Appraisal; 5) Project Prioritization; and 6) Effectiveness Evaluation.
  
  The application of this framework and the predictive methods of safety analysis it entails requires
  
  familiarity with the latest advances in highway safety research and practices. Therefore, recommendations on
  
  safety workforce development are presented along with a summary of possible training resources.
  
  The framework for highway safety mitigation and safety workforce development recommendations
  
  provided in this report are part of an ongoing effort to improve highway safety across the state of Utah and will
  
  play an important role in training the next generation of safety experts that will be able to meet the highway
  
  safety needs of tomorrow.
