Evaluation of Pennsylvania's Comprehensive Highway Safety Grants. Task D: Final Report Final rept. 1 Mar 06-1 Dec 06

摘要

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the work functions of the Comprehensive Highway Safety Grant Program Coordinators and determine opportunities to improve effectiveness, particularly in terms of improving highway safety and saving lives. Interviews, conducted with 19 grant Program Coordinators, identified opportunities to improve overall program effectiveness, coordination, and specific grant attributes. These interviews also led to the development of specific, focused plans for immediate action-a model work program to reduce aggressive driving, impaired driving, and unbelted injuries and deaths; assistance to PennDOT in establishing user-friendly formats and procedures for Program Coordinators to use crash data, and a training plan for Program Coordinators.
