Safety Performance Targets

HIGHWAYS

Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act established five national priority areas, which are: Safety, Infrastructure Condition, Congestion Reduction, System Reliability, and Freight Movement and Economic Vitality.  For each priority area, the U.S. Department of Transportation establish performance measures and required the States Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) to set targets  

The Highway Safety Improvement Program (81 FR13882, March 15, 2016) requires each State Department of Transportation and MPO to establish performance measures and targets for fatalities, the rate of fatalities. serious injuries, the rate of serious injuries, and the number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries.  The Idaho Transportation Department has established the following 2019.  The 2021 targets are shown in (RED):

  • Number of Fatalities – 243 (247)
  • Number of Serious Injuries –  1290 (1,285)
  • Fatality Rate (number of fatalities per 100 million vehicles traveled – 1.40 (1.38) 
  • Serious Injury Rate (number of fatalities per 100 million vehicles traveled) – 7.43 (7.21)
  • The number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries – 120 (120).

The targets are part of the State Highway Strategic Plan (SHSP) which provides strategies for accomplishing the targets by 2021.   Bannock Transportation Planning Organization (BTPO) has reviewed the targets, the method of determining the targets, and the five-year safety trends within the BTPO Planning area and agree to support the five ITD safety targets.  BTPO agrees to work with local agencies and ITD to plan, program, and implement projects and programs in support of the safety targets.  

BTPO will add the Safety Targets to the Performance Measures Methodology Report.  This report describes the performance measures BTPO tracks and the Targets and Goals for each measure.  Goals are used to describe targets for performance measures not included in the FAST Act. 

In our effort to support the State Safety Target, BTPO tracks the performance of the five safety performance measures.

TRANSIT

The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan regulation, at 49 CFR Part 673, requires covered public transportation providers and State Departments of Transportation to establish safety performance targets to address the safety performance measures identified in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan (49 CFR § 673.11(a)(3)). 

BTPO is required to set performance targets for each performance measure, per 23 C.F.R. § 450.306. Those performance targets must be established 180 days after the transit agency established their performance targets.  Pocatello Regional Transit Submitted the plan to BTPO on December 3, 2020.  The BTPO Policy Board voted to support the PRT targets at their January 4, 2021, meeting. 

The tables below are the performance safety targets for both the paratransit and fixed-route system.
