MANAGING HIGHWAY SAFETY

A study team examined current management practices in state and local highway safety agencies and private organizations, as well as the role played by the governor's highway safety representative. Model solutions, based in samples of excellence found in the first phase of the study, were developed for state agencies, local units, and state surrogate units that would serve communities that do not have a local agency. The study team also recommended a more active role for the federal government in developing funding sources revising program requirements to better serve the management models, and increasing political visibility of the highway safety issue. /Author/
