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

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

CTSP Goals – We asked ourselvesBased 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.
