  1. Jurisdictionally Blind Safety Roadway Departure Crash- 2013

  2. Emphasizes goal to reduce Fatal and serious injury crashes Emphasizes spending on all public roads Increased Funding for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Requires Performance Based Measures (States set Targets) Fatal and Serious injury Crashes per VMT Number of Fatalities and Serious Injuries New roadway data and highway basemap requirements Maintains emphasis on data-driven approach Map -21 – Major Themes for HSIP(Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, Section 148 of Title 23)

  3. The objective of HSIP is to significantly reduce the occurrence of fatalities and serious injuries A data-driven approach uses crash data, risk factors, or other data supported methods to identify possible locations to achieve the greatest benefits The key to any good safety program is indentifying the best candidate locations for investment The traditional approach to safety is to identify “hot spot” locations, then try to indentify measures to implement. The systemic approach identifies a few proven low-cost measures to be widely implemented where there is evidence that they would be most useful The systemic approach complements the traditional approach HSIP & Data Driven

  4. Safety in Oregon • About 900 of the rural FA crashes are on 26,000* miles of County Roads • About 300 or so non-state FA crashes are on 30,000* miles of tribal lands, BLM, Forest Service, local access and other roads • About 1100 of the urban FA crashes are on 10,000* miles of City Streets Oregon FA (Fatal + Serious Injury Crashes) 2009-2011 { 2100+ FA crashes are on 8000* miles of State Highways 1106 25% 2136 State Highways 48% Urban Non-state Rural Non-state 1208 27% *About 74,000 total public miles

  5. ODOT met with representatives of the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC)-- Discussed the need for developing a safety program for all public roads (prior years ODOT just used HSIP funds on State Highways) Discussed moving towards a jurisdictionally blind safety program Memorandum of Understanding between ODOT, AOC and LOC Jurisdictionally Blind Safety

  6. Reduce Fatal and Serious Injury crashes Address safety on all public roads Data driven Blind to jurisdiction Overseen by ODOT Regions Commitments to current STIP maintained Program Principles

  7. Allocated to each ODOT Region based on Fatal and Serious injury crashes Strive for Proportional between urban and rural Projects focused on Fatal and Serious injury crash reductions A portion to behavioral strategies Funding Principles What do you see in this photo? What do the skids marks say?

  8. Focus on fatal and serious injury reduction Primarily developed and overseen by ODOT Regional project selection must engage local jurisdictions Combine projects on state and local roads where possible Follow principles of practical design Project Selection Principles

  9. Funding for jurisdictionally blind starts in 2017 A transition program should be developed to bridge the gap from 2013 to 2017 The transition should focus on a few systemic fixes All parties should engage to develop a selection process How do we Transition? • We have to: • Maintain projects in Current 2013-2015 STIP • Process already underway for 2016-2018 STIP

  10. For 2013-2015 (Transition) Allocate $10 million HSIP to local roads over three years Allocate $1 million/year for strategies in TSAP For 2016 (Transition) Allocate $6 million HSIP to local roads Allocate $1 million for strategies in TSAP For 2017 and beyond Implement “jurisdictionally blind” safety program Safety Funding for Local Rds Photo Credit: Peter Koonce

  11. Funding for Local Roads 2013-2016

  12. ODOT will hire a consultant to facilitate the process in each region Local Jurisdictions will be asked to participate in selection of a few key systemic measures in each region Kick-off Meetings will occur in Apr-May 2013 ODOT regions will be in charge of delivering the projects Transition Program

  14. Examples of Systemic Measures for Roadway Departure

  15. Timing of the projects still needs to be worked out- Regions likely to go through selection process with local stakeholders in summer of 2013 Project scoping and development in late 2013 Actual projects delivered in 2014 Transition Program - Timing
