AREAS OF FOCUS
• Safety - Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) - Increases size of existing
program, adds requirement for regular update of the strategic highway safety plan
(SHSP) and ties two together to compliment both programs, Secretary to establish
measures and states to set targets for number of injuries and fatalities, addresses
data collection and analysis
• Freight – MAP-21 establishes a National Freight Network, a national
strategic freight plan, performance reporting and planning, freight movement
projects are funded 95% rather than 90%, states are encouraged to develop
freight advisory committees and freight plans
• Performance Measures – establishes national goal areas, USDOT will
develop measures, states set targets, states and MPO’s develop plans to achieve
targets, reporting to USDOT
CONSOLIDATION
• National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)
• Surface Transportation Program (STP)
