All Roads Transportation Safety (ARTS) Program

Oregon Department of TransportationJanuary 2015
Oregon averages 1700 fatal and serious injury crashes each
year
HSIP was traditionally only spent on State Highways, but 50% of our Fatal and
Serious injury crashes occur on local agency roads
We are developing data driven process targeted at reducing Fatal
and serious injuries
48%
State Highways
• 2,100 fatal and serious injury crashes;
• 8,000 miles
27%
City Streets
• Urban Non-state;• 1,200 fatal and
serious injury crashes;
• 10,000 miles
25%
County Roads
• Rural Non-state;• 1,000 fatal and
serious injury crashes;
• 26,000 miles
2009 - 2011Fatal and serious injury crashesin Oregon by jurisdiction
Using proven Safety Countermeasures and prioritizing based benefit/cost, most good for
dollar spent
Using traditional hot spot methods we will target locations with histories of fatal and serious
crashes
Using the Systemic approach half the funding will be used for low
cost measures that can be widely implemented
ODOT rolled out a Transition program in 2013 to begin
addressing local road safety with systemic measures
Transition program projects:Urban signalized intersection
improvements in Eugene and Salem
Rural rumble strips and fixed object removal in 8 counties including
Centerline Rumble strips in Benton County on N. Springhill Road
Funding will be split 50/50 between hot spot and systemic
Hot Spot lists will be developed by ODOT and shared with local
agencies who will give input into the selection of the hot spot
projects
Systemic selection will be through an application process, funding for each emphasis area will be
split roughly proportional to the amount of F&A
Once a refined list of projects are selected for each area and multi-
disciplinary assessment will assure the right measure for the
location
Federal funds requires matching funds currently 7.78% for HSIP
Through the spring of 2015 ODOT will work with local agencies to develop refined project lists for
the STIP
