6. New Business
A. Federal Safety Pet formance Measures
Mr. Landwehr arrived at 10:05 a.m.
Mr. Rotenberry explained that within the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the Federal
Highway Administration established 5 performance measures to assess performance and carry out the
Highway Safety Improvement Program: (1) number of vehicle fatalities, (2) rate of fatalities per VMT, (3)
number of serious injuries, (4) rate of serious injuries per vehicle miles traveled, and (5) number of combined
non -motorized fatalities and non -motorized serious injuries. He stated that CAMPO must adopt safety targets,
as outlined in the FAST Act, by February 28, 2018. Mr. Rotenberry explained that staff recommends that
CAMPO accept the target percentages established by MoDOT as applied toward the MPO area. He stated
that the targets are based on a 7% fatality reduction, 4% serious injury reduction, 1% vehicle miles traveled
increase and 4% non -motorized reduction. Mr. Rotenberry explained that MoDOT established the following
statewide targets in August 2017: (1) number of fatalities; (2) fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles
traveled; (3) number of serious injuries; (4) serious injury rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled; and (5)
number of non -motorized fatalities and serious injuries. He stated that the targets are reasonable for the
CAMPO region and if the targets are not met, CAMPO staff can calibrate them to improve accuracy. Mr.
Rotenberry explained that while the state safety targets are an important measure with respect to
transportation planning, there are no repercussions to the CAMPO area for failing to achieve safety targets.
Mr. Benz moved and Mr. Smith seconded to forward the adoption of the safety targets established by
MoDOT to the Board of Directors for approval. The motion passed unanimously.
