North Carolina has participated in the development of community traffic safety programs (CTSPs), primarily through funding by the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program (GHSP). The University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) was asked by the North Carolina GHSP to evaluate three North Carolina community programs. The programs were located in Charlotte, Greenville, and Greensboro. HSRC's approach was to become familiar with the programs through site visits and interviews with key personnel, as well as reading annual, quarterly progres and other project reports that were available. The authors examined process and impact evaluation data where available from the programs, and also conducted separate analyses utilizing other NC statewide data or data the authors specifically gathered.
