Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – Evaluation

The goal of HSIP evaluation is for agencies to estimate the effectiveness of highway safety improvements. The evaluation process reveals if the overall program has been successful in reaching performance goals established in the planning process, including its effectiveness in reducing the number of fatalities and serious injuries. Evaluation results should flow back into the various HSIP components to improve future planning and implementation, ensure resources are used effectively, and increase the effectiveness of future safety improvements.

HSIP Evaluation Guide
The purpose of the HSIP Evaluation Guide is to provide direction and resources to agencies that want to begin or enhance HSIP evaluation efforts. The guide contains information to help analysts track critical project details in support of HSIP evaluation, perform three different levels of evaluation (i.e., project, countermeasure, and program level), and use the results of HSIP evaluations to improve decisions and processes. Examples from various States highlight noteworthy practices and the benefits of evaluation.
