Specific Guiding Questions
Question 1
Are the existing traffic safety
performance measures effectively
informing the State’s highway safety
programming decisions and encouraging
the adoption of the Safe System
Approach? If not, how can the measures
be adapted to better support a
comprehensive approach to roadway
safety that results in impactful
programming and funding decisions?
Question 2
Should performance measures be
added, removed, or updated? If yes,
which one(s) and why?
Question 3
How can performance management
help States develop more robust
programs to engage communities that
have members killed and/or seriously
injured at higher rates than others but
are underrepresented in the State’s
programming and funding investments?
Question 4
As part of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, Congress directed
NHTSA in section 24102 to, ‘‘provide
for a comprehensive, data-driven traffic
safety program that results from
meaningful public participation and
engagement from affected communities,
particularly those most significantly
impacted by traffic crashes resulting in
injuries and fatalities.’’
How can performance management
help assess community input and
engagement, and what are your thoughts
on adding a measure to evaluate the
degree to which State Highway Safety
Offices (SHSO) are diversifying their
grantees who represent communities
overrepresented in fatality data and
underrepresented in the State’s
programming?
Question 5
Currently, the Federal Highway
Administration requires 5 safety
performance measures for State DOTs:
• Number of traffic fatalities (Fatality
Analysis and Reporting System
(FARS))
• Number of serious injuries in traffic
crashes (State crash data files)
• Fatalities/VMT (FARS, FHWAHighway Performance Management
System (HPMS))

PO 00000

Frm 00180

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

• Rate of Serious Injuries per 100
million VMT
• Number of Non-motorized Fatalities
and Non-motorized Serious Injuries
NHTSA requires States to report on
the number of fatalities, serious injuries,
and the rate of fatalities per 100 million
VMT. NHTSA does not require SHSOs
to report on the rate of serious injuries
per 100 million VMT nor the number of
non-motorized fatalities and nonmotorized serious injuries.
Should the serious injuries per 100
million VMT and non-motorized
fatalities and serious injuries measures
be included in NHTSA’s Core
Performance Measures? Please share the
reasons for your perspective.
Question 6
The current performance management
model requires SHSOs to submit 15 preidentified core, behavioral and activity
performance measures.
Are there other SHSO performance
management approaches NHTSA should
consider? For example, what are your
thoughts on an approach that would
require 3–5 pre-identified overall
fatality and serious injury targets that
apply to all SHSOs universally in
addition to a set of targeted performance
measures for specific highway safety
program areas that would be required
for any State that includes that program
area in its triennial Highway Safety
Plan?
Issued in Washington, DC.
