EVALUATION PLAN: JACKSON COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM. FINAL REPORT

An evaluation plan for the Jackson County (Michigan) Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program is presented, and the program is reviewed briefly. The overall evaluation strategy recommended for the program consists of three parts. The first part comprises performance evaluations of each of the individual countermeasure projects participating in the program. The second part is a performance evaluation of the entire program to determine whether the overall goals of the program (other than reduction in the frequency and severity of crashes) have been achieved. The final part consists of an effectiveness evaluation of the entire program to determine the long-term, bottom-line impact on crashes. Recommendations are presented for the crash and exposure databases to be used, for the comparison counties, and for the variables and time periods to be analyzed.
