At present, highway safety planning depends on fragmented, lagging data, forcing SHSOs to rely on information that is two or more years old. This leaves them planning “half-blind,” unable to address current roadway risks or assess intervention effectiveness within the three-year THSP cycle. Telematics Risk Analysis can help SHSOs shift to a proactive planning cycle.

GHSA and Cambridge Telematics produced Transitioning from Reactive Planning to a Fast Loop, a report focused on the future of roadway safety and how SHSOs can advance their approach to planning. This resource offers a practical roadmap for modernizing THSPs and driving faster, more targeted and effective interventions and evaluation.
