• Abstract:
  The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) applied the Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool (Tool) (FHWA. 2013. Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool. U.S. Department of Transportation. Federal Highway Administration. Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool) to a local road system. Through the Federal Highway Administration Focus State Initiative, KYTC staff had previously conducted systemic planning focused on roadway departure crashes on State highways. This planning effort, however, did not analyze or suggest any improvements for rural county roads. KYTC has a separate initiative that focuses on five or six counties each year (selected based on crash data) to assist the county agency staffs with reviewing corridors and identifying specific safety-related improvements. For their 2012 effort, KYTC used the Tool to analyze county roadway corridors on behalf of local agency staff in five counties – Boyle, Bourbon, Franklin, Mercer, and Montgomery.
