OHS, Strategic Highway Safety Plan Update SHSP

Abstract: OHS, Strategic Highway Safety Plan Update SHSP This project will develop data and content for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s 2025-2029 Strategic Highway Safety Plan. It will also continue implementation support for the 2020-2024 Plan. The objective of this project is to produce and implement a fully compliant update to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan that will result in significant reductions in crash loss in the State of Kentucky. As such, KTC and its research partners at the University of Kentucky will generate data and content for a proactive, living, and implementable instrument which will outline actionable goals aligned with KYTC’s mission of providing a safe, efficient and equitable transportation system. The Plan will acknowledge areas where positive differences can be made in safety, not just in affecting areas with high numbers of crashes. To achieve these objectives, the Plan should also be a collaborative effort across emphasis areas rather than addressing them individually. It should also be transparent and accessible in order to clearly convey its objectives to practitioners and other stakeholders.
