This tool is a website containing a wealth of information about the systemic approach to safety. The website is maintained by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and hosts the FHWA Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool, a popular tool used by State and local agencies to plan systemic safety projects. The site explains the systemic approach, why it is useful, and provides links to news and upcoming webinars about systemic safety. There are also resources such as noteworthy practices, case studies, and past webinar recordings showing examples of successful systemic projects completed by State and local agencies including measures of effectiveness and benefit-cost ratios. FHWA also offers training and technical assistance for using the systemic approach to safety, which can be requested from this website.
