McCarty St., Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573.634.6410 Fax: 573.634.6457 Memorandum TO: CAMPO Technical Committee FROM: Alex Rotenberry, Planner DATE: December 27, 2017 SUBJECT: Federal Safety Performance Measures 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 fatalities, (2) rate of fatalities per VMT, (3) number of serious injuries, (4) rate of serious injuries per VMT, and (5) number of combined non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries. CAMPO must adopt safety targets, as outlined in the FAST Act, by February 28, 2018. MPOs may choose between: (1) programing projects in support of all the State targets, (2) establishing specific numeric targets for all of the performance measures, or (3) establishing specific numeric targets for one or more individual performance measures and supporting the State target on other performance measures. According to federal statute, state DOTs and MPOs are expected to use the information and data generated as a result of this new regulation to “better inform their transportation planning and programming decisionmaking, and specifically to use their resources in ways that will result in the greatest possible reduction in fatalities and serious injuries.” MoDOT established the following statewide safety targets in August 2017: Performance Measure Statewide Target for CY2018 Number of Fatalities 857.7 Fatality Rate per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled 1.163 Number of Serious Injuries 4,559.3 Serious Injury Rate per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled 6.191 Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries 431.9 Targets based on 7% fatality reduction, 4% serious injury reduction, 1% VMT increase and 4 % non- motorized reduction Staff recommendation Staff recommends that CAMPO adopt the targets established by MODOT. The targets are reasonable for the CAMPO region and if the targets are not met, CAMPO staff can calibrate them to improve accuracy. 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. Form of Motion: Motion to forward the adoption of the safety targets established by MoDOT to the Board of Directors for approval.
