This synthesis will be of interest to local government agencies as they select tools and develop programs to implement road and street safety improvements. It recognizes the wide variation in the operations and responsibilities of local agencies and acknowledges that the level of expertise in transportation safety analysis also varies greatly. The guiding principle of this synthesis was to examine the tools and procedures that are practical, relatively easy to apply, and can be implemented by agencies with limited financial support and personnel. This synthesis contains information collected from a series of surveys. State departments of transportation, Local Technical Assistance Program centers, and professional organizations were contacted for information on the best safety practice ideas.
