Michigans first Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) was created in late 2004 under the direction of the Governors Traffic Safety Advisory Commission (GTSAC). The GTSAC was formed by an Executive Order of the Governor in 2002 to serve as the states major forum for identifying key traffic safety challenges and developing and implementing action plans to address those issues. Creation of the GTSAC merged the Michigan State Safety Commission created in 1940 and the Michigan Transportation Safety Management System created in 1995. Membership on the GTSAC consists of the Governor (or a designee), the Directors (or their designees) of the Departments of Community Health, Education, State, State Police, and Transportation, and the Office of Services to the Aging, the Executive Director of the Office of Highway Safety Planning, and three local representatives from the county, city, and township level. When the SHSP was originally developed, traffic safety advocates from the federal, state, and local level came together to discuss the current state of traffic safety in Michigan. Included in the process was a review of the traffic crash data resulting in the establishment of a statewide goal and the identification of a number of traffic safety emphasis areas that needed to be addressed to meet the goal.
