Abstract:Analysis of statewide crash data often shows a significant portion of fatalities and serious injuries occurring on locally owned roadways. To achieve the long-term goal and vision of zero fatalities on our nation’s roadways, States should consider safety improvements on the local system. States use local road safety programs to supplement State roadway safety program initiatives and provide safety funding opportunities and technical expertise for local agencies. These programs can be effective in developing projects, as well as building capacity at the local level and demonstrating an agency’s commitment to local roadway safety to the public. The purpose of this guide is to establish a framework for States developing local road safety programs or policies and to provide examples of how peers administer local road safety programs. This document is not intended to suggest the best strategy. Rather it presents an array of approaches States have taken to incorporate local road safety in an overall State safety program.
