The Strategic Highway Safety Plan Implementation Process Model Supplement Number 1 – Case Studies

How to Use This Document

While this document can be used as a stand-alone reference for noteworthy practices related to Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) implementation, it is designed primarily as a companion document to The Essential Eight – Fundamental Elements and Effective Steps for SHSP Implementation – also known as the SHSP Implementation Process Model (IPM).

The case studies are organized according to which IPM chapter they most closely relate and the individual chapters within both documents are identified by their matching color tabs. In the IPM, the pages of Chapter 2: Leadership, Collaboration, and Communication are identified by red color tabs. Within this document (the Case Study Supplement), the individual case studies associated with leadership, collaboration, and communication are also identified with red color tabs.

The title of each case study also contains information that identifies the particular IPM chapter to which it is most relevant. This information is in the form of a two-number code within the title. The first number identifies the IPM chapter for which the case study has the most relevance. The second number provides a unique identification for the case study. Two examples will serve to illustrate this point:

Case Study 2-3 – Collaborative Problem Solving

The number “2” in the title of this case study refers to the IPM chapter it is associated with. In this case, Chapter 2 – Leadership, Collaboration, and Communication. The number “3” indicates that this is the third case study related to Chapter 2 of the IPM. The color tab for this case study is red – the same as the color tab for Chapter 2 of the IPM.

Case Study 4-6 – Multiagency Policy Council Supporting Safety Legislation

Similarly, the number “4” in the title of this case study refers to IPM Chapter 4 – Emphasis Area Action Plans, and the number “6” indicates that this is the sixth case study related to Chapter 4. The color tab for this case study is blue – the same as the color tab for Chapter 4 of the IPM.

As described, both the color tabs and the individual case study titles link this Case Study Supplement to the IPM.
