Each September 1, the MeBHS must provide NHTSA a comprehensive plan to reduce

traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries and property damage. The Highway Safety

Plan (HSP) serves as Maine’s application for available federal funds for these specific

purposes. The HSP describes Maine’s top highway safety problems, identifies activities

and countermeasures, provides qualitative and quantitative performance measures to

determine goals and objectives and gives descriptions of continuing and new grants and

projects.

The MeBHS provides leadership and financial resources that develop, promote and

coordinate programs designed to influence public and private policy and to make

systemic changes and heighten public awareness of highway safety issues.

Developing and implementing the HSP is a year-round activity as outlined on the next

page. It involves discussions with all of our partners in highway safety.
