Safety in OregonSafety in Oregon

Map -21 – Major Themes for Map -21 – Major Themes for HSIPHSIP• Emphasizes goal to reduce Fatal and serious

injury crashes• Emphasizes spending on all public roads• Increased Funding for Highway Safety

Improvement Program (HSIP)• Requires Performance Based Measures

(States set Targets)– Fatal and Serious injury Crashes per VMT– Number of Fatalities and Serious Injuries

• New roadway data and highway basemap requirements

• Maintains emphasis on data-driven approach

Jurisdictionally Blind SafetyJurisdictionally Blind Safety

ODOT met with representatives of the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC)--

• Discussed the need for developing a safety program for all public roads

• Discussed moving towards a jurisdictionally blind safety program

• Memorandum of Understanding between ODOT, AOC and LOC

Program PrinciplesProgram Principles• Reduce Fatal and

Serious Injury crashes• Address safety on all

public roads• Data driven • Blind to jurisdiction• Overseen by ODOT

Regions• Commitments to current

STIP maintained

Funding PrinciplesFunding Principles• Allocated to each ODOT Region• Strive for Proportional between

urban and rural• Support Fatal and Serious injury

crash reductions• A portion to

behavioral strategies

Project Selection PrinciplesProject Selection Principles

• Focus on fatal and serious injury reduction

• Primarily developed and overseen by ODOT

• Regional project selection must engage local jurisdictions

• Combine projects on state and local roads where possible

• Follow principles of practical design

Transition PrinciplesTransition Principles

• Funding for jurisdictionally blind starts in 2017

• A transition program should be developed to bridge the gap from 2013 to 2017

• The transition should focus on a few systemic fixes

• All parties should engage to develop a selection process

Safety Funding for Local Safety Funding for Local RdsRds• For 2013-2015 (Transition)

– Allocate $10 million HSIP to local roads over three years

– Allocate $1 million/year for strategies in TSAP

• For 2016 (Transition)– Allocate $6 million HSIP to local roads– Allocate $1 million for strategies in TSAP

• For 2017 and beyond– Implement “jurisdictionally

blind” safety program

Transition ProgramTransition Program

• ODOT will hire a consultant to facilitate the process in each region

• Local Jurisdictions will be asked to participate in selection of a few key systemic measures in each region

• Kick-off Meetings will occur in Apr-May 2013

• ODOT regions will be in charge of delivering the projects
