Highway Safety Improvement Program Agenda Highway Safety - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

D2 SAFETY December/January Workshops Off-System Highway Safety Improvement Program

Agenda  Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)  Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)  Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)  Application Process – Example Eligible Projects – Local Agency Safety Team (LAST) – Project Programming and Delivery  Timeline

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)  Strategic safety planning  Federally-funded, state administered  Data-driven roadway safety management process  Highway safety improvement projects

History 1966 Highway Safety 1960s 1970s 1973 Highway Safety Act 1980s 1990s TEA-21, 1998 2000s SAFETEA-LU, 2005 2010s MAP-21, 2012

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)

MAP-21  Data driven strategic approach  Lump sum funding vs. individual authorizations  Road user defined  Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP)  5% reports

Strategic Highway Safety Plan

Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs)  Vision, Mission and Goals  Transportation safety needs  Safety Strategies  Performance Measures  Development, Implementation and Update

Florida SHSP Emphasis Areas  Aggressive Driving  At Risk – Teen Drivers – Aging Road Users  Distracted Driving  Impaired Driving  Intersection Crashes  Lane Departure Crashes  Traffic Data  Vulnerable Road Users – Bicyclists and Pedestrians – Motorcyclists

Application Process

Introducing

Requirements and Restrictions Data-driven and evidence based forecasted safety improvements Projects intended to address:  Capacity enhancement  Beautification  Economic development  Drainage  Railroad quiet zone  Bridge needs  Maintenance (Annual)

HSIP Basic Process Project Preliminary HSIP Funding Identification Analysis Request Project Delivery Programming Evaluation

Project Identification Key elements: 1. How was the issue identified?  Jurisdiction-wide safety analysis  Corridor Safety Analysis/Road Safety Assessment  Spot-Location Safety Analysis/Road Safety Assessment  Community or Regional Planning Process  Stakeholder, Community or Outside Specialists  Other Transportation Stakeholders 2. Is the project focused primarily on “spot location(s)” or “systemic” improvements? 3. Limited to 5000 characters

Existing Conditions  Shoulder Grade Key elements:  Roadway Type  Traffic Data  Shoulder Type  Limitations and Constraints

Preliminary Safety Analysis  5-Years Crash Data (2010 – 2014)  Prior attempts to address the Safety Issue  Countermeasure Selection  Proposed Improvement/Concept Description  Potential for Proposed Improvements to Address the Safety Issue

Local Agency Safety Team

Responsibilities and Duties  Assistance  Preliminary Application Review  Application Completion  Recommendations for funding Lake Mary Office considerations Julio Alegre, P.E., PTOE (407) 644-1898  Coordinate with non-funded project applicants for one (1) julio.alegre@metriceng.com year for consideration in the next year cycle. Jacksonville Office Holly Walker, P.E., CPM (904) 260-1567 The LAST does not replace an holly.walker@metriceng.com agency’s existing engineering staff or consultant on contract.

Application Completion  Qualitative assessment/field review  Constructability/feasibility review  Update or provide improvement concept  Calculate improvement cost estimate using FDOT construction costs.  Develop project scope  Develop economic analysis (benefit/cost and net present value) – B/C > 2.0 and NPV > 0 – Use Crash Modification Factors from FHWA CMF Clearinghouse www.cmfclearinghouse.org

Project Programming and Delivery

Programming The Work Program includes all proposed project commitments classified by major program and appropriation category.  Planning  Project Development and Environment (PD&E)  Design  Right-of-Way Acquisition  Construction

Delivery Method The Local Agency Program (LAP) is the Department's primary delivery mechanism for off-system projects included in the Five-Year Adopted Work Program, as opposed to the Florida Department of Transportation (the Department) administering the off-system project.
