Staff from central and regional/district offices and from
different departments and disciplines (i.e., safety, planning, design,
operations, and environment) within the lead agencies participated
in the meetings, as well as staff from several MPOs.

Recommended Actions by State and
Local Transportation Agencies
Based on the lessons learned from the lead agencies in HSM
implementation, the following actions are recommended for
state transportation agencies to help implement and integrate
HSM methods and performance-based, advanced safety analysis
procedures (PBASAPs) within their agencies. Many of the recommendations may also apply to regional and local transportation
agencies. The recommended actions are aligned with the seven

topic areas of interest from the scan, namely: status/policy, training,
technical functions, data, culture, information dissemination, and
achieving performance.

Topic No. 1: Status/Policy
1.	 An HSM champion is needed to advocate and seek support to
incorporate HSM methods and PBASAPs within programs and
departments in the agency. The champion should communicate
a vision, purpose, and need for HSM implementation within
the agency.
2.	 Executives and upper management should be provided training
to understand the value of reliable and accurate data, the need for
data integration, and quantitative safety analysis both within and
outside of the safety program. The training may garner support
and prioritization of agency policies concerning data collection,
maintenance, and PBASAPs.
3.	 Agencies should develop an HSM implementation plan and/
or an HSM implementation team that meets periodically (i.e.,
quarterly) to guide the direction of HSM implementation within
the agency and review the status of HSM implementation.
