Federal Highway Administration -- Nebraska Division

Federal Highway Administration

• Who We Are:

• The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation

• Our Mission:

• To support State and local governments in the design, construction and maintenance of the Nation’s highway system

• Our Vision:

• To ensure that America’s roads and highways continue to be among the safest and most technologically sound in the world

Highway Safety Improvement Program(HSIP)

• Purpose of HSIP is to significantly reduce fatalities and serious injuries

• HSIP is implemented by NDOR in partnership with FHWA

• Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a requirement of the HSIP

• While the HSIP focuses on safety, all roadway construction projects are safety projects

Nebraska 2017-2021 SHSP

• FHWA’s program focus is primarily on the infrastructure critical emphasis areas (CEAs) of the SHSP

• Infrastructure CEAs

• Reducing Roadway Departure Crashes

• Reducing Intersection Crashes

• Using innovation to address the infrastructure CEAs

• During an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) briefing on March 1st, U.S. DOT Secretary Chao mentioned the importance of continuing the development of new technologies with potential safety benefits

Every Day Counts (EDC)

• In 2009, the FHWA launched the EDC initiative in cooperation with AASHTO

• The objective of EDC is to rapidly deploy proven but underutilized innovations to enhance roadway safety as well as other priorities

• Many of the innovations were developed through the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2)

• NDOR and FHWA, Nebraska have partnered in several EDC/SHRP 2 safety innovation initiatives
