Event Description/Abstract
Over the past 2 years, Indiana has been part of a nationwide surge in the number of motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries. Even before that time, traffic deaths remained stubbornly high in comparison to other industrial peer nations. In 2022, INDOT engaged with stakeholders and partners inside and outside of state government to create a new Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The new SHSP is aligned with the FHWA Safe Systems Approach and will help facilitate the changes brought by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation (BIL Act) to state and local safety programs. This presentation will introduce the structure of the new SHSP, how data-driven analysis leads us to these strategies, and action plans to improve roadway safety throughout Indiana.
