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
