Abstract:The reporting period for 2021 is from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Connecticut's (5 year rolling average) fatalities and fatal crash rates have increased in calendar years 2019 and 2020. Both (5 year rolling average) serious injuries and the serious injury crash rate have seen little change in recent years. Connecticut uses HSIP resources to incorporate safety improvements across a broad range of maintenance, safety and non-infrastructure projects. Innovative methodologies developed and used by CTDOT will continue to identify more locations, on a statewide scale, with the greatest potential for crash reduction. Applications of new Highway Safety Manual concepts and systemic approaches are also being integrated into the HSIP program. The SHSP will target goals and devise strategies in each emphasis area to see where improvements can be made in order to support the vision of moving towards zero deaths. Since CT did not meets its 2019 safety performance targets, an HSIP Implementation Plan was prepared and submitted to the Division Office, which was accepted in September 2020 ( https://portal.ct.gov//media/DOT/documents/dtrafficdesign/CT-HSIP-implementation-plan.pdf ). CTDOT took this opportunity to reevaluate its HSIP investments and identify gaps and deficiencies to ensure that projects identified, prioritized, and programmed have the best potential for reducing fatalities and serious injuries. Consideration is also being made to help CT meet safety performance targets in subsequent years.
