Executive Summary

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is the recipient agency for federal highway safety grant
funds. As the administering agency, the Office of Highway Safety (OHS), within the Division of
Highways, develops and implements projects and programs to reduce deaths, serious injuries, and
economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. These programs address driver behavior. The
purpose of the program is to provide grant funding at the state and community level for highway
safety programs that address Idaho’s highway safety issues as identified in the Highway Safety Plan as
well as the Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

We are proud to highlight some accomplishments from FFY 2010.

The OHS used $3,749,438 in federal funds to support efforts to reduce traffic deaths and
serious injuries. Total program costs, including match, was $5,302,063.

Idaho updated its Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) following a November 2009 workshop.
It was approved by the Idaho Transportation Department Board in June 2010. The
development process included over 100 people representing engineering, enforcement,
education, and emergency response. The implementation includes these same individuals
serving on Emphasis Area Teams. The work is being overseen by the SHSP Oversight Team using
quarterly meetings to review progress and direction. The Federal Highway Administration has
been impressed with our process and Mary Hunter presented Idaho’s process in a FHWA SHSP
Implementation Process Model webinar, as well as at a Rhode Island safety conference.

The Idaho Transportation Department has declared traffic safety to be its top priority. The
Long Range Transportation Plan is being finalized and it will set the stage for long term
commitment to allocating resources to improving Idaho’s roads to improve safety, mobility,
and economic development.

Participation in our mobilizations by local law enforcement agencies significantly increased in
FFY 2009. Much of this increase can be attributed to Idaho’s Law Enforcement Liaison
Program which is seen as a model program for other states to consider.

Idaho’s Highway Safety Summit drew 267 attendees representing enforcement, education,
engineering, and emergency response. This was our largest event ever and it continues to
build commitment to traffic safety as it provides tools to attendees.

Fatalities declined during the Federal Fiscal Year 2010. The following is preliminary data and
subject to change. However, it is clear to say that fatalities declined during the period of time
that the FFY 2010 programs were being implemented. We are very pleased to report:
o Unrestrained fatalities declined from 96 in FFY 2009, to 81 in FFY 2010.
o Impaired driving fatalities declined from 92 in FFY 2009, to 82 in FFY 2010.
o Speeding fatalities declined from 79 in FFY 2009, to 67 in FFY 2010.
