The Highway Safety Program

This program receives funding through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop and implement the Highway Safety Plan, including behavioral strategies to address identified traffic safety issues including lack of seat belt use, drug and alcohol impaired driving, distracted driving, young drivers, speed, motorcycle safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and other concerns.

The Strategic Highway Safety Plan

The NDDOT is responsible to coordinate the development, implementation and evaluation of the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), also known as the Vision Zero Plan, in cooperation with local, state, federal, tribal and private sector safety stakeholders. The SHSP is a data-driven, multi-year comprehensive plan that establishes statewide goals, objectives, and key emphasis areas and integrates the four Es of highway safety: engineering, education, enforcement and emergency medical services (EMS). The SHSP allows highway safety programs and partners in the state to work together in an effort to align goals, leverage resources and collectively address the state's safety challenges.
