DESCRIPTION:
This training course provides strategies and examples of Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) implementation processes that will help safety partners manage their state's SHSPs. The intended audience for the SHSP Implementation Course encompasses a wide
range of safety stakeholders involved in SHSP management and implementation efforts at all levels (e.g., local, regional, state, and Federal) including: engineers (e.g., safety, traffic, design, operations, maintenance, and management); transportation planners;
safety practitioners; law enforcement officers and managers; emergency responders; and nonprofit and private sector partners.
The course recognizes States implement their SHSP according to available opportunities and resources. Models, such as the SHSP Implementation Process Model (IPM) presented in this course, are representations of ideal processes, and all parts of the model
may not work or be necessary for all States. The model presents the ideal framework to help states assess, compare, and adjust their own SHSP implementation efforts.
Responsibilities:
You will be expected to complete three online lessons and three facilitated Web conferences. It is recommended that Modules 1 and 2 be completed prior to any other modules. Module 6 can be taken at anytime following the first two, but should be completed
prior to taking Modules 7 and 8. You must complete all eight of the online lessons and participate in the Web conferences to obtain your certificate. By passing the online test at the end of the course, you can also receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
for the course. All participants will need their own computer with internet connection and a telephone line to participate in the Web conference.
NHI hosts SHSP Implementation and four other Web-based Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)-related training courses HSIP Overview, SHSP Development, HSIP Project Identification, and HSIP Project Evaluation.
