• Abstract:
  According to the most recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, more than 10,423 people were killed in traffic crashes on locally or Tribally owned roadways in 2021. In addition to funding projects that implement countermeasures on local roads, the HSIP also supports local safety work by funding local road safety plans (LRSPs) and road safety audits (RSAs), as well as training and technical assistance programs for local agencies. LRSPs and RSAs both use data to study local crash patterns and identify countermeasures—often future HSIP projects—to help prevent those crashes. Identification of locations with high speeds and speed management strategies are often key components of LRSPs. Because LRSPs and RSAs consider crash data across a network, they are an especially effective, low-cost way to identify opportunities to implement systemic countermeasures for preventing and mitigating fatal and severe injury crashes.
