  3. Goal of HSM Implementation • Move forward • Integration of safety in the day to day activities • Support State’s Performance Goals • Institutionalize safety culture • HSM becomes a tool routinely used by transportation/road professionals • Safety is another quantified parameter

  4. ELEMENTS OF Institutionalization Implementation Plans 5

  5. ICT ProjectFocus: all aspects of implementation 6

  6. NCHRP 17-50 HSM PX 1Focus on safety analysis toolsWith TRB Safety Performance 7

  7. NCHRP 17-50 HSM PX 2Focus on Calibration, Data, Case StudiesIncluded Support States

  8. National Efforts • FHWA • Training • HSM Implementation Guide for Managers • Integration Guide • HSM Case Studies • AASHTO • HSM Implementation Pooled Fund • Website upgrades • NCHRP • Calibration Guide • NCHRP 17-45, 17-54
