CONCLUSION

The RSA case studies project sponsored by the FHWA Office of Safety has been well received by the participating transportation agencies. The case studies project has exposed State and local agencies and Tribal governments to the concepts and practices of an RSA, and provided the opportunity for agency staff members to participate on the RSA team as part of the process. Within a year of the first case study RSA, at least two of the participating agencies have implemented regular RSA programs for their new and upgrade transportation projects.

This case study document has summarized the results of each RSA, with the intent of providing State and local agencies and Tribal governments with examples and advice to assist them in implementing RSAs in their own jurisdictions. In the future, an evaluation of these RSAs, as well as other RSAs conducted in the United States, will be conducted and published to provide further guidance to agencies contemplating an RSA program in their jurisdictions.
