The program will identify <br />safety projects and strategies that address the key safety needs of the state. <br /> <br />A SHSP provides a comprehensive framework for data-driven decision-making, utilizing the four <br />E's - engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical services. The SHSP <br />establishes statewide goals, objectives, and key emphasis areas in consultation with federal, <br />state, local, and private sector safety stakeholders. In addition, the SHSP identifies high-risk rural <br />roads, and is required to list the top five percent of locations with the greatest safety needs. <br /> <br />As required under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy <br />for Users (SAFETEA-LU), the California Department of Transportation will lead the effort to <br />develop the statewide Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). <br /> <br />Helen Putnam Awards Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br />This program recognizes outstanding cities that deliver the highest quality and level of service in <br />the most effective manner possible.
