  2. All Highway Users in Montana Arrive Safely at Their Destinations The Vision…

  3. Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan • What is a CHSP • Why do we need one • What does it take • Who is involved • What does the data tell us • What are the Goals • Emphasis areas • Plan Implementation Process

  4. What is a Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan (CHSP)? A Plan to address the State’s highway safety needs and reduce the number of crashes and their consequences. The plan must be data driven and comprehensive in nature.

  5. Why do we Need a Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan? • TranPlan 21 - Montana’s Statewide Multimodal Transportation Policy Plan – 2002 Update Established Safety Goals for the Department • Policy Goal: Reduce the number and severity of crashes on Montana’s roadways • Policy Goal: Establish and maintain high-level statewide interagency coordination to improve traveler safety and develop and agenda for action. • SAFETEA-LU Requirement

  6. Why do we Need a Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan? • Establish specific, quantifiable safety-related goals, objectives and performance measures relevant to travel on Montana’s highways • Address issues at all levels of jurisdiction with specific attention to local and tribal entities • Establish a mechanism for interagency coordination with respect to issues of safety and develop the necessary partnering process • Provide a strategic implementation plan with short, mid and long-term action items, including action items which can be incorporated into MDT’s plans and programs and those of other state and local agencies with functional responsibilities relevant to highway safety.

  7. What Does It Take? • Collaboration and Coordination • Working with all appropriate stakeholders with a vested interest in each safety area • Data Driven Decision Making • Continual analysis of data to direct and focus efforts • Comprehensive Strategies • Efforts need to include education, enforcement, engineering and emergency services elements

  8. Coordinated Planning

  9. Comprehensive Approach • Highway safety problems are complex • 4 E’s - Engineering, education, enforcement and emergency services • Often times it is a combination of these that make the difference

  10. Who does it involve • Local, State and Federal Agencies • Tribal governments • Safety Stakeholders and people with an interest or expertise in transportation safety

  11. Montana’s Safety Stakeholders MDT – Engineering MDT – Planning MCS MDT – Maintenance MDT – SHTSO DPHHS EMS OPI DOJ MHP MVD Local Law Enforcement Courts Judiciary FHWA NHTSA Tribal Planners Indian Health Tribal Police Tribal Governments AAA MT/WY Tribal Leaders CouncilMMCA BIA

  12. Montana’s Plan – Next Step… • Set an Overall Safety Vision • Establish Goals – What does the data tell us the problem is? • Determine Emphasis Areas (objective areas) • Identify Strategies that will reduce the number and severity of crashes and help us reach our goals

  13. 43,220 Fatalities Nearly 3M Injuries $230B+ Cost to the Nation $820.00 per person

  14. 262 Fatalities 4446 Injuries $.780B Cost to the State

  15. How does this Break Down in Montana • Distracted driving (25%) • Impaired driving (41%) • Roadway departures (38%) • Speeding (31%) • Failure to wear safety belts (59% unrestrained) • Intersections (21%) • Pedestrians (11%) • Pedalcyclists (2%) • Trucks (11%) • Motorcycles (8%)

  16. Montana Statewide Crash Rates (Per Vehicle Miles Traveled) 2.01 2.26 0.83

  17. Fatality Rate – Montana vs. U.S.

  18. What are our Goals?

  19. Scenarios # Of fatalities plus incapacitating injuries Target reduction from 2004 Projected # of fatalities (14%) Fatality rate (#of fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles) Traffic Safety Goals(Fatalities & Incapacitating Injuries) Realistic 1,700 -100 238 2.03 Quadratic regression 1,600 -200 224 1.91 Optimistic 1,500 -300 210 1.79 Target year 2008

  20. Scenarios # Of fatalities plus incapacitating injuries Target reduction from 2004 Projected # of fatalities Fatality rate (#of fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles) Realistic 1.500 -300 210 1.60 Quadratic regression 1,300 -500 182 1.38 Optimistic 1,100 -700 154 1.17 Idealistic 950 -850 132 1.00 Traffic Safety Goals(Fatalities & Incapacitating Injuries) Target year 2015

  21. CTSP Goals – We asked ourselves • Based on the data and trends, are these goals realistic? • How do we measure our progress towards these goals? • Numbers • Rates • % Decrease • Do we agree that these goals should guide the development and implementation of Montana’s Comprehensive Transportation Safety Plan?

  22. Our Goals • Reduce the Montana statewide fatality rate from 2.05 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) (2004) to 1.79 per 100M VMT by 2008; • Reduce the Montana statewide fatality rate to 1.0 per 100M VMT by 2015; and • By reducing the goal of the Montana fatality rate to 1.0 per 100M VMT by 2015, Montana’s incapacitating injuries will also fall from 1,700 in 2005 to 950 in 2015.

  23. Montana’s Plan – Next Step… • Set an Overall Safety Vision • Establish Goals – What does the data tell us the problem is? • Determine Emphasis Areas (objective areas) • Identify Strategies that will reduce the number and severity of crashes and help us reach our goals

  24. Montana’s Emphasis Areas • Increase safety belt use to 90% • Reduce alcohol and drug impaired crashes • Reduce Native American crashes • Reduce and mitigate the consequences of single vehicle run-off-the-road crashes • Develop and implement a comprehensive crash reporting and data management system • Reduce young driver (under age 21) crashes • Reduce crashes in high crash corridors and locations • Reduce crashes involving trucks • Develop an effective and integrated EMS delivery system • **Reduce crashes in urban areas • **Reduce motorcycle crashes • **Reduce older driver crashes

  25. Increase Safety Belt Usage to 90% Current Montana rate is near U.S. average (80% - 2005) but only 24.8% of occupant fatalities were belted in 2005 Performance Measures: • Annual statewide safety belt utilization for all roads • Annual restraint use by occupant fatalities
