Cut fatalities in half by 2030
• Highway safety is a major public health
challenge, 37,261 fatalities 2008.
• All crashes - $230.6 B/yr; 2.3% GNP
• Vision of TZD
• Lead by SCOHTS; however other leads:
• SSOM in conj also w NTIMC and NUG
• 20-7(282) Research needs assessment for
roadside workers and vehicle safety
• ITS and IntelliDrive: V2I, significant focus
V2V
Congestion free America
• $87.2 B drain on economy, 4.2 B hrs
in traffic congestion
•SSOM lead focus
•Also in conjunction w NTOC and
NTIMC NUG
•3-94 Operations Guide
•20-7(298) CoE for Operations
•SHRP2 Reliability and L17 - KTN
System Preservation
•Innovative technologies and state of
the art techniques
• Asset management guide, SCOH and
SCOP
• New authorization initiative for Ops
• 20-7(300) Synthesis of economic
benefits for WM and operations
• IntelliDrive
Project Delivery
• Support accelerated project delivery
contributing to environmental
streamlining efforts and promoting best
practices.
• 20-73, accelerating transportation
program and project delivery –
conception to completion.
• SHRP Capacity
• Operations Guide
Freight
• Support improvement of national
freight network
• Multiple collaboration of standing
and subcommittees
• SCOH Highway Transport
• 20-7(303) Synthesis of truck size
and weight issues
Performance Management
• Facilitate a shift from process
oriented program and project delivery
system to an outcome based project
and program.
• Lead SCOPM w also significant
collaboration of SCOH
• 20-24(37) Performance metrics
studies and recommendations

National
Goals
Issues
Annual
fatalities on
a 3 yr
moving avg.
Serious
injuries
Reduce the Definition of serious
national total
and tech
by 50% in
support
twenty years
IRI
Structural
Condition
(e.g.PSR or
RSL )
Structurally
Deficient
Deck Area
Interstate
and other
NHS –no
goal at this
time
More uniform
definition of
pavement structural
adequacy; national
goals or targets need
to be a function of
funding levels
