INVEST (Infrastructure Voluntary Evaluation Sustainability Tool) is a practical, web‐based, collection of voluntary best practices and criteria designed to help transportation agencies integrate sustainable practices into their projects, plans, and programs. INVEST helps transportation agencies improve investment decisions while considering limited resources by addressing the sustainability triple bottom line ‐‐ enhancing economic, social, and environmental outcomes.

Since the 1950s transportation professionals have been able to quantitatively assess project alternatives based on mobility, and more recently in terms of environmental impact. Limited means have existed to assess the safety performance of different design alternatives. To help address that gap, the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) was published by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), culminating ten years of research and development […]

This guide provides examples of opportunities for integrating the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual into the project development process. This includes integrating methods from the Highway Safety Manual into planning, alternatives development and analysis, design, operations, and maintenance. The guide provides a description of each of these steps in the project development process, and then provides a discussion of the […]

Report Number: FHWA/VCTIR 12-R8 To incorporate safety into the regional planning process, a Virginia-specific resource guide was recently developed for use by districts of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and planning district commissions (PDCs). In order to determine how to enhance the implementation of the guide throughout Virginia, a pilot implementation of the guide […]

Publication No. FHWA-HRT-05-051 This paper presents estimates for the economic (human capital) and comprehensive costs per crash for six KABCO groupings within 22 selected crash types and within two-speed limit categories (= 50 mi/h)). The comprehensive costs include nonmonetary losses. To produce these cost estimates, previously developed costs per victim keyed on the AIS injury […]

About The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has given high priority to research regarding collisions between large trucks (gross vehicle weight > 4,540 kilograms (10,000 pounds)) and other vehicles on the roadway. This research aims to improve knowledge about the high-risk behaviors of truck and passenger vehicle (car) drivers. In 1998, large trucks accounted […]
