Element 1: 4-Step Project Selection Process Element 1: The Systemic Safety Project Selection Process
Objective • Develop the list of high-priority safety improvement projects • For locations identified in Step 2 • Using the most appropriate countermeasure indentified in Step 3 Element 1, Step 4: Prioritize Projects
Outcome • Safety project for each “at-risk” candidate location. • The roll-up of the individual projects creates the systemic safety program for the agency’s system. Element 1, Step 4: Prioritize Projects
Data Needs • A basic understanding of your agency’s priorities, practices, and policies as they relate to project and program development. • Current information relating to expected implementation costs and estimated crash reduction associated with the various safety improvement strategies. Element 1, Step 4: Prioritize Projects
Element 1: Step 4 Element 1, Step 4: Prioritize Projects
Element 1: Step 4, Task 1Create A Decision Process Purpose: • Create a decision process to select countermeasures • May consider traffic, geometric, crash history when setting criteria • Provide a measure of consistency for applying countermeasures for “at-risk” locations. Element 1: Step 4, Task 1
Element 1: Step 4, Task 1Create A Decision Process Process: • Identify information (and their criteria) that will be used to determine when is countermeasure an option. • Create a decision process using the criteria for each focus crash type and/or facility type. Element 1: Step 4, Task 1
Decision Process – Segments Element 1: Step 4, Task 1
Decision Process - Rural Intersections Element 1: Step 4, Task 1
Element 1: Step 4, Task 2Develop Safety Projects Purpose: • Select countermeasures for safety investments and determine how to efficiently bundle projects in a design package for contract letting. Element 1: Step 4, Task 2
Element 1: Step 4, Task 2Develop Safety Projects Process: • Apply the decision process (Step 4, Task 1) to identify a specific countermeasure(s) for each “at-risk” site. • At each site, document countermeasure(s) selected, estimated implementation cost, and a summary of the risk factor scoring. • Decide how to efficiently bundle various projects together into one design package for contract letting. Element 1: Step 4, Task 2
Example Project Summary Sheets Urban Intersection - Corridors Rural Intersection Element 1: Step 4, Task 2
Element 1: Step 4, Task 3 Prioritize Safety Project Implementation Purpose: • Identify implementation order. Process: • Prioritize the projects into an order for implementation. • Other considerations: funding, other programmed projects, time required to develop project plans, amount of public outreach needed, etc. Element 1: Step 4, Task 3
