Preface

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Self Assessment Tool provides a mechanism for agencies to evaluate HSIP implementation efforts. The HSIP Self Assessment Tool consists of a number of questions designed to provide those with HSIP management responsibilities information to assess their programs, policies, and procedures against many of the recommended HSIP practices in use today. The HSIP Self Assessment Tool is intended to be a group exercise and, as such, should be conducted with as many transportation safety stakeholder representatives as possible. Among other things, the Self Assessment Tool can be used to:

• Benchmark and track progress towards improving the effectiveness of the HSIP over the long term;
• Raise the level of awareness of HSIP-related practices and strategies;
• Identify gaps in existing HSIP efforts; and
• Generate strategies to improve HSIP-related practices.
