Alaska's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federally-mandated program managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF). Its purpose is to reduce fatalities and major injuries due to crashes on Alaskan roads. Prior to 2005 the HSIP was focused on engineering countermeasures. Congress broadened the scope of the HSIP in 2005 to include a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), which covers all types of highway safety countermeasures, including enforcement, education, emergency services, and engineering (the '4 Es'). This broadening of HSIP scope resulted in a division of responsibility for HSIP delivery in Alaska. Headquarters Program Development staff developed the original Strategic Highway Safety Plan in 2007. The 2011 update, renamed the Strategic Traffic Safety Plan (STSP) was finalized in March 2012. The program to implement engineering countermeasures traditionally done under the HSIP continues to be managed by headquarters and regional traffic and safety engineers. This Handbook defines the department's program to develop, implement, and evaluate engineering countermeasures. To maintain continuity with historical usage, this program will be referred to in this manual by its traditional name, the Highway Safety Improvement Program.
