Course Spotlight: NHI Highway Safety Improvement Program Training Series
In an effort to support the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), NHI presents a series of courses to help State and local agencies understand and advance HSIP implementation. The purpose of HSIP is to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads and the program requires State departments of transportation to develop and implement a comprehensive statewide plan, called a strategic highway safety plan (SHSP).
The following courses present information related to the various components of the HSIP including two courses focused on SHSP development and implementation.
