This report, required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides an update of highway safety projects throughout the state of Arizona during the Federal Fiscal Year as administered by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
The Office of Highway Safety produces the annual Highway Safety Plan to serve as the implementation guide for highway safety projects throughout Arizona. The Plan also is an application for funding through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Project selection is data driven and utilizes state and national traffic safety data (e.g., crashes, fatalities, injuries, citations, etc.). Knowledge of the Arizona political, economic, and demographic environments, as well as highway safety expertise on the part of staff and other partners also are taken into account where appropriate.
