• Abstract:
  The safe and efficient movement of people and goods is one of the most fundamental missions of any transportation agency. Both safety and mobility on the road network are affected by individual users’ behaviors, vehicle designs and features, infrastructure characteristics, and the way the transportation system is managed and operated. This is one of two Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) brochures that focus on making the connections between operations and safety. This brochure makes the case for linking operations and safety program initiatives, and it highlights opportunities to enhance those connections through examples. It offers organizations ways to overcome challenges with connecting operations and safety and identifies opportunities for greater coordination. It also summarizes the results of an FHWA research project, which involved reviewing examples of State and local plans and conducting interviews with staff from FHWA division offices, State departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and local agencies.
