The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) raised the stature of the highway safety program by establishing highway safety improvement as a core program, tied to strategic safety planning and performance. SAFETEA-LU established the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core program, separately funded for the first time, with flexibility provided to allow states to target funds to their most critical safety needs. The HSIP requires states to develop and implement a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The purpose of the SHSP is to identify and analyze highway safety problems and opportunities, include projects or strategies to address them, and evaluate the accuracy of data and the priority of proposed improvements. The goal is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
