The 2018 Massachusetts Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a statewide-coordinated safety plan that provides a comprehensive framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The SHSP identifies the State’s key safety needs and guides investment decisions toward the strategies and countermeasures with the most potential to save lives and prevent injuries. It includes an overview of the plan’s development, an identification of problem areas, and a 5-year action plan consisting of 61 specific strategies, 283 direct actions and 5 legislative proposals to get Massachusetts closer to our goal of zero roadway deaths.

The 2018 Massachusetts Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) proposes that Massachusetts consider six high-leverage policies to reduce the frequency and severity of roadway fatalities. These legislative measures are high-leverage because they target frequently occurring types of crashes and address the interconnected nature of crashes such as speeding, driver distraction, and impaired driving.
