MPORPO Safety Performance Measures Performance Management Why Who

MPO/RPO Safety Performance Measures

Performance Management – Why & Who • As part of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21) a federal rule making (23 CFR 490) was established to enact national performance management requirements to ensure that State DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) choose the most efficient investments for Federal transportation funds.

Performance Management – When & Where • Safety Performance Management Final Rule first published to Federal Register March 15, 2016 – 23 CFR Part 924 updated Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – 23 CRF Part 490 added National Performance Management Measures for Safety

Performance Management - What To address this 5 performance measures to assess performance and carry out the Highway Safety Improvement Program were established: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Number of fatalities Rate of fatalities per 100 Million VMT Number of serious injuries Rate of serious injuries per 100 Million VMT Number of combined non-motorized fatalities and nonmotorized serious injuries

2017 Strategic Highway Safety Plan • The goal established in the SHSP was to reduce fatalities and serious injuries by 2% annually • This would result in a PA specific SHSP goal to reduce 120 fatalities and 305 serious injuries over 5 years http: //www. penndot. gov/Travel. In. PA/Safety/Documents/ PA%20 SHSP%202017 -0215%20(HRRR%20 Errata). pdf

Considerations for Performance Goal • Nationally there was an increase of over 7% in each of the last two years • Toward Zero Deaths Vision sets a national aspirational goal to eliminate fatalities • National goal established by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to eliminate fatalities in 30 years • Autonomous vehicles will become more evolved between 2025 and 2030 but the impacts remain unknown

Considerations for Performance Goal • PA data has shown a 1% fatality reduction based on historical state data • Based on all these considerations a 2% reduction goal was established to continue to push numbers downward to support national goals. The Department felt this was a stretch goal but still obtainable based on PA’s current data.

Serious Injury Definition • Agencies must use the definition for "Suspected Serious Injury (A)" from the MMUCC, 4 th edition by April 15, 2019. • Pennsylvania converted to this definition in January of 2016. • This conversion resulted in approximately 1, 000 more suspected serious injuries than we previously had major injuries. • As a result, the targets for serious injuries and serious injury rate will appear to be going up for the next 4 years even though we are targeting a 2% reduction annually.
