What document outlines the safety policies and goals of IDOT?

The Illinois Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is the document that outlines the safety policies and goals of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). This plan is strategic in nature, focusing on reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on Illinois roads. It serves as a comprehensive framework that guides various stakeholders, including government entities, law enforcement, and community organizations, in implementing safety initiatives and programs effectively.

The SHSP is based on data-driven approaches and incorporates input from a broad range of partners to identify critical safety issues, set measurable goals, and prioritize resources. This allows IDOT to create a coordinated safety strategy aimed at improving overall roadway safety for all users.

The other documents mentioned serve different purposes: the Illinois Transportation Improvement Plan primarily focuses on the state's capital investment in transportation infrastructure, the Illinois Public Transit Plan outlines the future of public transit in the state, and the Illinois Infrastructure Maintenance Plan details the maintenance needs and requirements of infrastructure but does not specifically set forth safety policies and goals.
