The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) legislation encourages state departments of transportation (DOTs) to develop strategic highway safety plans (SHSPs). Developing an SHSP calls for a comprehensive, collaborative, and data-driven approach to highway safety that brings together all appropriate safety stakeholders in the state to work together towards a common highway safety goal. An SHSP is to be based on accurate and timely safety information systems, processes to analyze this information to identify highway safety problems and opportunities, and planning and implementation of a comprehensive set of countermeasures. The Transportation Research Board's (TRB's) Transportation Asset Management (ABC40), Statewide Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ20), and Geographic Information Science and Applications (ABJ60) Committees hosted a peer exchange to bring both data and highway safety professionals together to share experiences and identify key issues relating to integrating roadway, traffic, and crash data sources used to support safety management and introducing asset management concepts into the highway safety management arena. Nine state transportation agencies were selected for participation in the peer exchange based on their leadership and interest in integrating roadway, traffic, and crash data. Prior to the workshop, state agency participants completed an extensive questionnaire on their current situation for data management and integration practices. Agencies also responded to questions on the on their data analysis capabilities and the value of data integration to asset management and safety management functions. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
