The FHWA goal for Highway Safety is to reduce the number and severity of crashes on the nation’s surface transportation facilities. It consists of Engineering, Education, Enforcement and Emergency Management Services (EMS). Safety Engineering is managed by FHWA through policies and guidelines designed to improve highways safety on every highway construction and maintenance project. In addition, funds have been specifically set aside for safety projects and programs that entail engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency management that are selected and targeted based on crash experience. In West Virginia, the various agencies that manage these funds and projects are members of the Highway Safety Management Task Force that promotes effective cooperation in these activities. The Task Force is currently developing a Statewide Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which will provide additional focus on West Virginia’s highest risk highway safety issues.
