This guidebook outlines ways to apply safety data and analysis to the State DOT and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) performance-based planning processes, including transportation planning process and strategic highway safety plan process. One of the purposes of the guide is to present a framework for navigating the fundamentals and advanced methods for safety data collection and analysis. It also presents strategies for using results from safety analysis to develop safety performance measures and targets, identify and prioritize projects, and evaluate progress in reaching safety goals.
