As directed by N.R.S. 223.200, and in keeping with federal guidelines, the Department of Public Safety - Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) prepares a Highway Safety Performance Plan (HSPP) each federal fiscal year. The plan offered on the following pages includes the details and funding levels for various projects to improve traffic safety in Nevada during the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012. The plan consists of four parts: The Performance Plan explains the process used to identify problems for goals and performance measures; The Highway Safety Plan describes specific projects selected for funding; The Certification Statement provides assurances that the State will comply with applicable laws and regulations; The Program Cost Summary reflects the States proposed allocation of funds by program area. Impaired driving (alcohol/drugs), Occupant Protection (seat belts/child seats), Speeding, Motorcycles, Distracted Driving, and Pedestrian Safety are the key traffic safety problem areas in Nevada today. Working in partnership with Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and other state and local agencies on the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), OTS analyzed the states most recent crash data to identify its priorities for funding in this coming grant year. |
