Abstract:The North Dakota HSIP is administered through the Programming Division in the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). Safety investments are based on the state’s current Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The current SHSP document is called ND Vision Zero Plan and has six priority emphasis areas: Lane departure, Intersections ,Alcohol and/or drug related, Unbelted vehicle occupants, Speeding/aggressive driving, Young drivers. Safety projects are developed by a reactive process (high crash listings, road safety reviews, fatal crash review teams) and a systemic process (local road safety plans). Project solicitation takes place every fall and HSIP applications are submitted from local agencies and NDDOT district offices. Projects are reviewed for eligibility and are then prioritized into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The evaluation of past safety projects is based on the fatality and serious injury data (presented in this report). In 2020 the vehicle-miles traveled dropped while the overall number of fatalities remained the same as in 2019. The number of serious injuries has increased. NDDOT is examining the data and are looking at what adjustments are needed in order to return to the downward trend we’ve seen in the last few years.
