    • Abstract:
      When the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) led the development of a strategic highway safety plan in 1997, targeting the nation’s most serious highway safety problems, Maryland was one of the few states in the country to rise to the challenge and develop their own multiagency statewide plan in 2003. The passage of The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) provided the states with an opportunity to improve their strategic highway safety plans (SHSP) through a data-driven, comprehensive approach for all public roads with the buy-in and support of a wide variety of stakeholders. Maryland has made significant progress in reducing motor vehicle fatalities and injuries despite increases in population and vehicle miles of travel. There are, however, reasons for concern. The positive trends evident in many of Maryland’s safety measures have plateaued over the past five years and have, in some cases, shown disturbing increases. From 1996 to 2005 more than 6,000 have died on Maryland roads and highways, and over 600,000 were injured at a cost of more than $4.5 billion annually. These figures clearly show the need for the new approach adopted by the state in this SHSP process.
