• Description:
  Safety Performance Management (Safety PM) is part of the overall Transportation Performance Management (TPM) program, which the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines as a strategic approach that uses system information to make investment and policy decisions to achieve national performance goals. The Safety PM Final Rule is codified under Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 490, subpart B. The regulation establishes national safety performance requirements for the purposes of carrying out the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and to assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to provide the data sources and calculations for the safety performance measures that FHWA will use when determining whether a State DOT has met or made significant progress towards meeting their safety performance targets. This document is guidance only and does not create any requirements other than those stipulated in statute or regulations.
