This publication was compiled by the Community Traffic Safety Clearinghouse. The National Association of Governors' Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR), with the support of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), established the Community Traffic Safety Clearinghouse because of the importance of the Community Traffic Safety Program (CTSP) approach to its membership. NAGHSR defines a CTSP as a program administered by an established unit in the community, sustained over time, with public and private input and participation in an action plan to solve one or more of a community's traffic safety problems. This publication documents the State perspective and strategies on CTSPs. It features the CTSP initiatives in California, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. These states represent a mixture of rural/urban, centralized/decentralized technical assistance, and large/small grants. The data presented in this report documents the State Highway Safety Office (SHSO) rationale for establishing the CTSP, the process used, and the means of support. The information is organized similarly in each description for quick reference and comparison. At the conclusion of each study, a contact person who can provide more detail is listed. (A)
