This report summarizes the peer exchange sponsored by the Rhode Island

Department of Transportation (RIDOT) that focused on Rhode Island’s SHSP

update.

Rhode Island’s goals for the peer exchange included learning from other States’

experiences and incorporating success factors into its SHSP update. RIDOT

applied to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Roadway Safety

Professional Capacity Building (RSPCB) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Program seeking

technical assistance to learn from others’ experiences on the following topics:

 Improving crash forms to better capture data on speeding, distracted

driving, and toxicology;

 Integrating databases to determine crash rates and contributing

factors, as well as statistical outcomes of injury crashes;

 Aligning Highway Safety Plan (HSP) and SHSP goals, particularly

those related to TZD; and

 Measuring the effectiveness of the SHSP, maintaining stakeholder

involvement, and incorporating the SHSP into all agency plans.
