Abstract

This report will be of interest to local, regional, state, and federal officials, as well as to other transportation professionals that work with them in dealing with highway safety management systems (SMSs). This report provides an overview of current transportation agency practices, recent literature findings, and in-depth reviews of two model state SMS initiatives. Overall, findings continue to support that the key benefits derived from the SMS process are increased co-ordination, co-operation, and communication among state agencies and improvement to data analysis and collection procedures, as well as collaborative strategic plans. This synthesis report contains information culled from survey responses from state transportation agencies. This information is combined with that from interviews with selected respondents and reviews of applicable literature, as well as previously collected, but not published, summaries of state reports on program and system elements.
