Commonwealth of Kentucky Highway Safety Performance Plan Fiscal Year 2012 (Otober 1, 2012-September 30, 2013).

摘要

This document serves as Kentuckys application for Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety funds for the 2013 federal fiscal year. This plan provides an outline for the coming year for improving the safety of Kentuckys roadways by providing an overview of safety data, detailing priority areas, setting goals and performance measures and describing specific projects to help decrease the loss of life and injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes. The nature of the projects is varied, but they all concentrate on addressing the behavioral issues that lead to crashes and in turn, injuries and fatalities. Kentuckys primary program areas within the context of NHTSA funding are impaired driving, occupant protection and police traffic services. In November 2007 the Secretary of the Transportation Cabinet was appointed as the Governors Representative for Highway Safety in Kentucky. In June 2008, Kentuckys State Highway Safety Office was reorganized by executive order from the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety in the Transportation Cabinet to the Office of Highway Safety in the Department of Highways in the Transportation Cabinet. The administration of the federal 402 Highway Safety Program in Kentucky is housed in the Offices Division of Highway Safety Programs.
