Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP)

Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs) are comprehensive, data-driven strategies developed by state or local transportation agencies to improve road safety. They identify key safety issues, set goals, and outline targeted actions to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities on roadways. SHSPs involve collaboration among government agencies, law enforcement, and community stakeholders to implement policies, education, enforcement, engineering improvements, and technology solutions. The ultimate aim is to create safer highways for all users through coordinated planning and proactive interventions, ultimately saving lives and reducing crashes across the transportation network.
