Abstract:During the state fiscal year (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021), VTrans worked on the development of 12 projects and on the construction of 14 projects to remediate hot spot and corridor locations. VTrans further continued to work with local municipalities on systemic safety to address lane departure crashes at horizontal curves and installed signs in ten towns. For the state fiscal year, the total amount of funding that was obligated during the reporting period was $17,630,733. Of this amount, $13,089,681 was obligated from HSIP Section 148 and $4,541,052 was obligated from Section 164. Over the years, the HSIP and other related safety efforts have been efficient at reducing the number of major crashes (fatal + serious injury crashes) on Vermont roads. One of the principal measures of success that illustrates this is the reduction in the five-year average of major crashes from the 2008-2012 baseline period for the current Strategic Highway Safety Plan. This five-year average is now down to 273.2 major crashes for the 2016-2020 period from 375.6 major crashes for the 2008-2012 period. The five-year averages of the number of fatalities and serious injuries went down as well when compared to the Strategic Highway Safety Plan baseline period. For the same periods, the five-year average of the number of fatalities went from 70.0 fatalities to 61.4 while the five-year average of the number of serious injuries went from 384.8 to 275.6 serious injuries. During the reporting period, VTrans has been working with a consultant to review its HSIP structure and processes. While no changes have been made during this reporting period, it is expected that changes will be implemented during the next reporting period.
