This chapter describes how safety can be integrated into the transportation planning process at all levels. Special focus is given to how safety can be incorporated into the products of the statewide and metropolitan planning processes, that is, statewide transportation plans (STPs), statewide transportation improvement programs (STIPs), metropolitan transportation plans, and transportation improvement programs (TIPs). The chapter explains why safety planning that only focuses on traditional transportation planning products should be augmented by new processes and institutional relationships that align efforts across organizational boundaries to achieve reductions in highway fatalities and incapacitating injuries. It provides a brief description of the legislative and regulatory history of safety planning in the United States, and the relationship between the STP and the development of a strategic highway safety plan. The chapter describes the characteristics of safety transportation planning and how safety concepts can be incorporated into the different steps of the transportation planning process.
