Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Partners
The SHSP has three key leadership groups: Executive Leadership, Steering Committee, and Challenge Area Teams. A brief description of each of their responsibilities is presented below.
Executive Leadership provides direction on SHSP policies and procedures and engages support from multiple agency executives.
Steering Committee establishes the strategies and processes to implement the SHSP and provides oversight for the Challenge Area Teams.
Challenge Area Teams evaluate relevant data and track best practices related to their area and are responsible for the development and completion of action items in the Implementation Plan.
