A Focused Approach to Safety Guidebook: Toolbox

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed the Focused Approach to Safety Program in order to better address the most critical safety challenges by devoting additional attention to high priority States. The purpose of the Focused Approach is to further decrease the number of fatalities and serious injuries on the Nation’s highways through a more targeted delivery of technical assistance and resources. FHWA’s safety focus also calls for the transportation community to think beyond traditional approaches and to consider low-cost, comprehensive, systematic safety solutions. This approach allows focus States to demonstrate dramatic results and to take advantage of the lessons learned across the country from States and localities that have shown safety improvements on their highways. This toolbox provides a listing of links to several additional safety resources that can assist States in implementing a focused approach to safety. Each item is described by which focus area it is designated and whether it is primarily for program delivery, technical assistance, technical tools, guidance, or outreach.
