THE 1981 HIGHWAY SAFETY STEWARDSHIP REPORT

This is the seventh annual report of the highway safety improvement programs. In accordance with Section 203 of the 1973 Highway Safety Act and 23 USC 151 and 152, reports are required for the Rail-Highway Crossing Program, the Pavement Marking Demonstration Program, and the Hazard Elimination Program. Although not required by statute, the report also includes information on safety projects funded with other Federal-aid and State and local funds to provide a more complete perspective of State and local highway safety efforts. Other topics covered in the report include highway related safety program standards, highway safety research and development, safety training, motor carrier safety, and highway safety information. Information included in this report was obtained from reports submitted by the States (i.e., the 50 States plus Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa), from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) fiscal control records, and from information received from FHWA field offices and other sources. Data in this report is as of September 30, 1980, unless otherwise indicated. Fifty-three of the 55 States provided reports varying in the quality and quantity of information provided. Some States provided a minimum of information and evaluation data while other States did an outstanding job in providing a complete picture of the overall safety program in their respective States.
