Abstract:The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) through the Design Bureau, Traffic Engineering Division, and Traffic & Safety Operations Section (TSOS) is responsible for the administration of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The goal for the TSOS is to provide the tools, processes, and guidance necessary to promote highway safety efforts that lead to a reduction in the number and severity of crashes on all public roads in Alabama. The HSIP projects are consistent with the Alabama Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) 3rd Edition which was updated in July 2017. The 3rd Edition of the of the Alabama SHSP focuses on implementing regional SHSPs following the Rural/Regional Planning Organizations (RPOs) as the geographical boundaries for each region. Specific emphasis areas were identified by local stakeholders to develop performance measures with proven countermeasures. Four regions were selected to represent various geographical areas of the state and ensure a mix of urban and rural traffic and safety challenges. Regional coalitions were established to convene a diverse group of stakeholder participants representing all facets of the 4 "E"s (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Response) ranging from industry to community civic groups. The Alabama SHSP, 3rd Edition included four Regional Safety Coalitions Planned Emphasis Areas and Strategies. The current focus of Alabama's SHSP is the “Toward Zero Deaths” initiative. Additionally, Alabama has adopted the goal of reducing fatalities by 50% within a 20-year time period. Fatal crashes had dropped significantly over the past decade from 2005 to 2015. Alabama had seen a steady decline in the number of fatalities and the fatality rate during this same period but has recently seen an uptick in fatalities over the past couple of years. ALDOT failed to meet 2019 targets, so an Implementation Plan is being developed for FY 2022.
