5 v Executive Summary SEMCOG has long held a vision to develop, implement and encourage a fully operational comprehensive traffic safety network available for use by all. Improving traffic safety within the region is an ongoing project. To ensure that traffic safety resources are used efficiently, it is important to identify those that are involved in traffic safety, and then match available resources to needs. This study had two objectives. The first objective was to identify the safety resources and the needs of local units of government. Through a survey, SEMCOG identified the primary traffic safety contact for each municipality within the region. Each municipality was also asked to identify their main goal for traffic safety and the resources they need to fulfil their goals. Attitudes towards traffic-safety-related coordination were identified. The second objective was to identify statewide and regional traffic safety organizations that serve Southeast Michigan. Organizations are listed by their geographic scope of service, and include a sampling of the services they provide. Sample findings of the survey include: Over 29 percent of municipalities anticipate an increase in staffing related to traffic safety. Only 1 percent anticipate a decrease in traffic safety staff. The main safety goals of municipalities over the next year include reducing traffic crashes, increasing enforcement, education, and improving traffic flow. Resources needed to fulfill their traffic safety goals include increased funding, more equipment, and improved education. The lack of available skilled personnel was also mentioned as a obstacle to their traffic safety goals. The survey also asked which organizations municipalities interact with, as well as their attitudes towards interacting with safety organizations.

7 1 Introduction SEMCOG s vision has been, and remains, to develop, implement and encourage a fully operational comprehensive traffic safety network available for use by all. SEMCOG s traffic safety program mission is to provide opportunities for safe and efficient travel for all road users in Southeast Michigan through coordinated strategies that focus on roadway, vehicle, and human travel elements. Through these strategies, SEMCOG s goal is to reduce traffic crashes, thus saving lives and reducing injuries. Recognizing the enormous burden of traffic crashes, SEMCOG has identified major organizations involved in traffic safety, in an effort to coordinate activities and use resources dedicated to traffic safety more efficiently. Improving traffic safety within the State of Michigan is an ongoing project. In 1987, the governor convened a Conference on Traffic Safety in recognition of the problems associated with traffic crashes. The conference brought many safety experts together and formed several task forces to consider various aspects of traffic safety issues and their potential solutions. One such task force was the Subcommittee on Coordination. The subcommittee noted that: The success of traffic safety programs depends, in large measure, on official and public awareness of the magnitude of the traffic accident problem, an understanding of the actions necessary to solve that problem and a willingness to support viable traffic accident countermeasures. In the State of Michigan, literally hundreds of agencies and organizations are responsible for the process of creating awareness, understanding and support. Some are charged by law with this responsibility. Others assume it voluntarily because of a vested interest or a social conscience. (SEMCOG, 1990) The subcommittee also found: There is a clearly demonstrated correlation between the relative success of accident prevention programs and the degree of coordination which exists among agencies and organizations responsible for creating understanding and support for a given issue or action. (SEMCOG, 1990) In response to the need to improve traffic safety, and with assistance from the Michigan State Police Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP), SEMCOG undertook the task of identifying those who participate in highway safety activities. The task resulted in the report entitled Safety Agencies in Southeast Michigan: Their Missions, Structures and Constraints (1990). One of the recommendations of this report was to publish a directory of traffic safety-related agencies at the regional level and distribute it to the known safety agencies. In an effort to address this recommendation and to continue to increase the communications network of the region s traffic safety community, SEMCOG performed a second survey.

8 2 Objectives Currently, there are multiple statewide and regional traffic safety organizations that provide assistance to local units of government within Southeast Michigan. What is not known is how effectively these organizations reach a portion of their intended audience, namely, local units of government. The goal of this project was to develop a tool that facilitates communication between traffic safety organizations. Through coordinated efforts, limited resources can be better utilized to assist communities in identifying traffic safety problems and developing countermeasures. The first objective of this study was to identify safety resources and the needs of local units of government in order to facilitate coordination between these groups. Through the survey, SEMCOG identified the specific traffic safety goals of local units of government and the resources they need to achieve those goals. Local traffic safety partners were identified through a survey mailed to each local unit of government in the region. A database of contacts was created using the results of the survey. The second objective of this study was to identify statewide and regional traffic safety organizations that can assist local governments in Southeast Michigan. A description of this comprehensive network, its partners, their missions, and services will provide a good starting point for anyone interested in improving traffic safety. These two objectives will help address the needs of the region s safety personnel by linking their needs to those who can provide assistance. SEMCOG will continue to develop the traffic safety partners database and provide updates to Michigan s Traffic Safety Management System (MTSMS) as part of its ongoing safety assistance program.

9 3 Survey Results There are many traffic safety organizations that provide assistance to Southeast Michigan communities. In order to identify those organizations, SEMCOG developed a survey for local jurisdictions to obtain the following information: the person in charge of traffic safety within the jurisdiction, traffic safety goals of the jurisdiction, resources needed, and attitudes towards traffic-safety-related coordination. Survey questions were developed in conjunction with the SEMCOG document, Safety Agencies in Southeast Michigan: Their Missions, Structures and Constraints (1990). This report was written in response to the Governor s Conference on Traffic Safety, At the conference, experts in traffic safety across the state determined that coordination between traffic safety organizations improved the relative success of accident prevention programs. Understanding that coordination is important for traffic safety programs, SEMCOG identified all organizations, public and private, involved in any sort of traffic safety activity. From that 1990 survey, SEMCOG identified the types of traffic-safety-related organizations within the region, their goals and objectives, and the resources they need to achieve their missions. For this project, surveys were sent to all local units of government within the seven-county SEMCOG region, including cities, townships, and villages. For jurisdictions that only had consultants listed for their traffic safety contact, SEMCOG contacted the consultant. A total of 217 surveys were mailed, of which 108 were returned, for a response rate of 49.8 percent. Of the returned surveys, 76 (70.4 percent) stated that they, in fact, were the person responsible for traffic safety in their jurisdiction. In some instances, the respondent stated they were not the person responsible for traffic safety, but completed the survey anyway. Those surveyed were asked to state their main responsibility aside from traffic safety (see Table 1). The majority of responses were from people involved in law enforcement activities. Table 1 Traffic Safety Personnel by Responsibility Responsibility Responses Police Officer 74 On-Staff Traffic Engineer 1 Consultant 1 Other 10

10 4 Approximately 64 percent of respondents also reported using consultants on an as-needed basis to supplement safety activities. Consultants were used for a variety of reasons, including engineering assistance, data analysis, and even provide support when there was no staff person assigned traffic safety duties. Next, respondents were asked whether they anticipate any changes in traffic safety staffing over the next year (Table 2). Table 2 Traffic Safety Staffing Changes Anticipated Change Percentage Responses Increase Same Decrease 1 1 A majority of local units of government do not anticipate any change in the number of staff working on traffic safety issues. Twenty-nine percent of those surveyed anticipate an increase in staff working on safety issues. On the other hand, only one respondent anticipated a decrease in staff working on traffic safety issues. This suggests that traffic safety issues are becoming more important within the region. SEMCOG was interested in identifying specific goals related to traffic safety and the resources needed to achieve those goals. The survey asked respondents to indicate the three most important goals and resources (Table 3). Table 3 Main Safety Goals Goals Percent Responses Reduce traffic crashes Increase enforcement Improve traffic education Improve traffic flow Improve highway maintenance 12 9 Legislative lobbying 3 2 Reduce operating expenses 0 0 Other 7 5 Most municipalities wish to reduce traffic crashes and increase traffic enforcement. It should be noted that

11 the majority of surveys were completed by police agencies, so there is a natural bias towards law enforcement goals. This same pattern was found in the 1990 SEMCOG traffic survey. In 1990, law enforcement agencies ranked reducing traffic crashes as the most important goal of their organization, followed by increasing enforcement, and then improving traffic education. One purpose of this survey was to understand which resources organizations need to best meet their traffic safety goals. Organizations were asked to identify their three most critical resources from a list (Table 4). Table 4 Resources Necessary to Meet Safety Goals 5 Resources Needed Percent Responses Increased funding More equipment Improved education Availability of skilled personnel Administrative support 11 8 Legislative changes 11 8 Improved interagency communications 9 7 Other 11 8 The two most frequently listed resources needed were increased funding and more equipment. Increased funding also was cited as the resource most needed in the 1990 survey. Increased funding could have a greater impact as it could lead to improved equipment and/or better opportunities for training. There appears to be an emphasis on law enforcement activities when analyzing the responses to this question. More equipment, the second-most cited resource needed, included comments suggesting the responding law enforcement organization would like to purchase radar or laser speed detectors, as well as new computers. Only 33 percent of organizations surveyed stated the availability of skilled personnel was a resource that they needed to meet their traffic safety goals. This could suggest that organizations have skilled personnel, but feel they need additional funding or equipment to meet safety goals. SEMCOG was interested in the interaction between municipalities and traffic-safety-related agencies. Those surveyed were asked about their relationship with a variety of statewide and regional traffic safety organizations. Municipalities were asked their degree of awareness of these organizations, i.e., whether they routinely interact, are aware of, or never interact with the listed traffic safety organizations (Table 5).

12 6 Table 5 Traffic-Safety-Related Agency Coordination * Organization Routinely Interact Aware of Never Interact Responses Michigan State Police (MSP) 76% 20% 4% 84 Office of Highway Safety and Planning State Safety Commission (OHSP) Michigan Traffic Safety Management System s Action Teams 55% 39% 6% 87 3% 49% 49% 76 Michigan Safe Communities 3% 44% 53% 75 Traffic Safety Association of Michigan 29% 44% 27% 78 Traffic Improvement Association (TIA) of Oakland County AAA s Traffic Safety Committees (Huron Valley, Wayne or Thumb) Michigan State University Highway Traffic Safety Programs Traffic Safety Association of Macomb County * (may have rounding error) 37% 12% 51% 81 18% 29% 53% 78 24% 44% 33% 80 16% 16% 69% 77 As expected, the two major statewide traffic safety agencies, MSP and OHSP, have a high degree of interaction with municipalities. For both MSP and OHSP, there is nearly 95 percent awareness of, and/or interaction with, municipalities. This is not surprising, as the majority of surveys were completed by law enforcement officers. However, other statewide safety organizations have different patterns. For the Statewide Safety Management System and Michigan Safe Community Program, there is awareness of the programs they offer, but very few municipalities (three percent) actually interact with these programs. Regional safety partners exhibit similar awareness patterns. About half of the municipalities are aware of the safety efforts of these organizations, the other half never interact. This is understandable, because regional agencies tend to target specific geographic regions, municipalities outside of that region have little reason to interact with them. One of the more established regional organizations, the Traffic Improvement Association (TIA) of Oakland County, routinely interacts with a large proportion of municipalities responding to the survey. Over 37 percent of the municipalities surveyed report routinely interacting with TIA.

13 SEMCOG wanted to understand why organizations choose to coordinate with others for traffic safety information. Organizations surveyed were asked a variety of questions about why they choose (or choose not) to coordinate with state and regional safety organizations (Table 6). Table 6 Interaction with Other Agencies 7 Strongly Agree Agree No Opinion Disagre e Strongly Disagre e Responses Our agency is self-sufficient -- 17% 15% 48% 20% 59 Our agency is not aware of opportunities to interact with other agencies Other agency efforts do not correspond with our agency goals Staff time/budget constraints do not allow for interagency exchanges We rely on our consultant to interact with other agencies 10% 25% 15% 31% 19% 59 3% 9% 27% 51% 10% 59 15% 29% 24% 29% 3% 59 5% 7% 24% 33% 31% 59 It is clear that most organizations need outside assistance to reach their traffic safety goals. Of the municipalities surveyed, only 17 percent said they were self-sufficient in matters related to traffic safety. In fact, over 66 percent of respondents felt that they were not self-sufficient in traffic safety matters. Additionally, the survey revealed that local units of government saw traffic safety organizations as beneficial to their departments. Sixty-one percent believed that there were organizations that could help them achieve their traffic safety goals. But, as was shown earlier in this report, municipalities said they lack the financial resources and/or sufficient staffing to properly interact with safety organizations. Approximately 44 percent of local governments said they lack staff time or the budget to coordinate with other traffic safety organizations. Half of the organizations are aware of opportunities, but are unable or unwilling to coordinate with other traffic safety organizations.

14 8 State Safety Partners The second objective of this study was to identify agencies or groups with traffic safety expertise. The organizations fall into two broad categories statewide and regional agencies. Regional agencies are defined as groups or organizations that primarily focus on, or within, the SEMCOG geographical area. Statewide agencies generally provide safety assistance to anyone within the state, including the SEMCOG geographical area. Michigan Traffic Safety Management System (MTSMS) Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) 4000 Collins Rd. PO Box Lansing, MI Contact: Kurt Kunde (517) or Kathy Farnum (517) MTSMS oversees Michigan s highway safety efforts among various federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as related organizations whose goal is traffic safety improvement. MTSMS brings together state highway traffic safety efforts, works with regional safety partners to coordinate activities, and sponsors the annual statewide Traffic Safety Summit. Responsibilities of the MTSMS are grouped into action teams, a steering committee, and the Michigan State Safety Commission. Their relationships are outlined in Figure 1. Michigan State Safety Commission The Michigan State Safety Commission was created by the Michigan Legislature to oversee traffic safety efforts in the state. Commission members include the directors of the Departments of Education, Public Health, State Police, Transportation, and the Secretary of State. The goal of the commission is to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries on Michigan roads by coordinating traffic safety activities among the major state departments. Recommendations from the action teams can be channeled through the steering committee to the commission to the appropriate state agency for action (Figure 2).

17 Steering Committee The MTSMS Steering Committee provides a platform for action teams that can recommend improvements for traffic safety. The steering committee evaluates recommendations and forwards those that are appropriate to the Michigan State Safety Commission. The commission coordinates activities among the major state departments, referring recommendations to the appropriate state agency. Each recommendation is directed toward the goal of reducing traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries on the roadways. Action Teams MTSMS Action Teams determine the current status of various efforts in target areas. They also help identify successes and deficiencies of safety efforts. Action Teams recommend the best method for sharing information and organizing statewide meeting and training programs. Traffic safety partners may participate in 13 teams: Corporate Outreach Data Driver Education Licensing and Training Emergency Medical Services Enforcement and Adjudication Engineering Heavy Trucks Impaired Driving Legislative Occupant Protection Pedestrian Safety Public Information and Awareness Two-Wheeled and Special-Use Vehicles Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Traffic and Safety Division 425 West Ottawa Street Lansing, MI Contact: John O'Doherty, Division Administrator Phone: Fax: The mission of MDOT s Traffic and Safety Division is to serve the public's transportation needs through the application of comprehensive highway traffic engineering technology; and participating in all phases of the department's effort to reduce traffic crashes and injuries, vehicle delay, fuel consumption, pollution, and operating costs, by increasing the safety, efficiency, and capacity of the state highway trunkline system. 11

18 12 Michigan Department of Transportation Regional Offices MDOT Regional Offices provide a variety of multi-modal services within their designated multicounty area. These service centers focus on directing the delivery of services to extend pavement life and improve safety and drivability for motorists. Transportation Service Centers (TSCs) within the region are responsible for scoping and design of projects, construction oversight, and coordination. TSCs work with local partners (counties, cities, planning agencies, community groups, and businesses) to help deliver improved transportation services and facilities to meet the needs of the communities (Figure 3).

20 14 The mission of OHSP is to save lives and reduce injuries on Michigan roads through leadership, innovation, facilitation, and program support in partnership with other traffic safety professionals. OHSP supports several statewide, regional, and local safety initiatives, most notably the Michigan Traffic Safety Management System (MTSMS) and Michigan Safe Communities. Michigan Safe Communities 4000 Collins Road PO Box Lansing, MI Contact: Sue Guggemos Phone: The Michigan Safe Communities Program invites local community leaders, organizations, and citizens to work with OHSP to prevent traffic crashes, violence, and substance abuse in their community. To become a Michigan Safe Community member, the municipality must have a coalition in place consisting of at least five key local organizations or leaders (e.g., law enforcement officials, medical organizations, government leaders, or the media). Once a coalition is formed, they must complete a problem identification process. OHSP has developed a problem identification instrument called Assessing Community Traffic Safety (ACTS). ACTS is a series of 21 surveys that help identify resources to address specific traffic safety problems. The surveys are distributed to coalition members and others within the community. The coalition must implement an injury prevention program based on the results of the problem identification process. OHSP will help communities develop the most effective injury prevention program. To date, 35 communities statewide are members of Michigan Safe Communities program. Another 23 are currently working on the ACTS process (Figure 4). Criminal Justice Information Center (CJIC) 7150 Harris Drive Lansing, MI Phone: The Criminal Justice Information Center (CJIC) strives to provide timely, complete, accurate, and accessible information to the criminal justice community and to all users, including fingerprints, criminal records, crime statistics, traffic crash statistics, firearms, and departmental records. All law enforcement agencies in Michigan submit accident data to the MSP/CJIC on UD-10 Traffic Crash Reports. A crash report is completed when the driver of a motor vehicle involved in a traffic crash injures or kills any person, or causes property damage totaling $400 or more. Fatality records are maintained on both the state system and the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) (supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

22 16 Other Statewide Organizations Technology Development Group Michigan Technological University 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, MI Phone: Fax: The Technology Development Group at Michigan Technological University developed RoadSoft, a roadway management system. Engineers and managers use the software to analyze and report of roadway inventory, safety, and condition data. This software can help local agencies determine safety deficiencies in roadways by sorting accidents by location. This information can then be used to rank intersections or segments of roads for improvements. AAA Traffic Safety Committees Community Safety Service 1 Auto Club Drive Dearborn, MI Phone: The mission of the AAA Traffic Safety Committees is to promote involvement among all public and private agencies concerned with the safe and efficient movement of highway, street, and waterway traffic. By identifying problems and solutions to their specific geographic areas, the committees coordinate or implement activities for the wellness and safety of the people living and visiting their regions. The committees include representatives from various police agencies, state legislators, private industry and business, and other organizations (Figure 5). The Traffic Safety Committees that service the SEMCOG region include the Huron Valley, Wayne, and Thumb Committees.

26 20 Regional Organizations Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) 535 Griswold, Suite 300 Detroit, MI Contact: Tom Bruff Phone: Fax: SEMCOG, the metropolitan planning organization for Southeast Michigan, undertakes a variety of traffic safety tasks. Among the tasks, SEMCOG maintains the Transportation System Monitoring database that contains traffic crash data, and information about the physical characteristics of the roadway system. SEMCOG also provides traffic crash data to local communities, the media, and private citizens upon request. Currently, SEMCOG provides tools to enhance traffic safety. They developed a Traffic Safety Manual and Comprehensive Analysis Safety Tool (CAST) software to analyze and recommend changes to safety trouble spots to the roadway system. SEMCOG provides engineering assistance to member municipalities who do not have on-staff traffic engineers. County Organizations Traffic Improvement Association of Oakland County (TIA) 2187 Orchard Lake Road, Suite 140 Sylvan Lake, MI Contact: Robert DeCorte Phone: Fax: TIA is a nonprofit, multi-community-based consulting organization that solves traffic safety problems. It works with local municipalities, law enforcement agencies, and road agencies to provide traffic crash data, engineering support and analyses, training, coordination, public support, advocacy, public information, and education about traffic safety issues. TIA retains resources to aid communities with traffic safety problems, including traffic engineering services, hosting workshops, and a video lending library for member communities.

27 21 Traffic Safety Association of Macomb County Utica Road Fraser, MI Contact: Gail Peterson Phone: Fax: The mission of the Traffic Safety Association of Macomb County is to provide leadership in addressing issues related to highway safety, in order to reduce deaths, injuries, and property losses due to traffic collisions. The association promotes traffic safety through education. It increases awareness through driver improvement courses, traffic safety instruction, compiling and publicizing traffic statistics, and providing support for public efforts to improve traffic safety.

28 22 Other Resources Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE) The Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE) is a software system that provides the user with direct access to accident information. It is maintained by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama. Through the CARE Web site, information about accidents in Michigan can be calculated and analyzed using a Web tool. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Fatality information is derived from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS includes motor vehicle traffic crashes that result in fatality to a vehicle occupant or nonmotorist, from injuries resulting from a traffic crash, that occur within 30 days of the crash. FARS contains data on all fatal traffic crashes within the 50 United States, and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The data system was conceived, designed, and developed by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) to assist the traffic safety community in identifying traffic safety problems, developing and implementing vehicle and driver countermeasures, and evaluating motor vehicle safety standards and highway safety initiatives.

29 23 Conclusion Traffic crashes have an enormous impact in Michigan. Each year there are approximately 500 fatalities on roads in Southeast Michigan alone. There have been ongoing efforts to reduce the effects of traffic crashes on society, with varying degrees of success. SEMCOG first surveyed traffic-safety-related organizations in the region in At that time, SEMCOG identified the types of organizations and their strengths for identifying safety problems. This report expands upon that work. Through another survey, SEMCOG identified those that participate in traffic safety efforts within the region. The survey also identified attitudes towards coordinating safety efforts. There are opportunities to improve the coordination of traffic safety efforts within the region, as well as throughout the state. The Michigan State Police and the Office of Highway Safety Planning have undertaken efforts to coordinate traffic safety, through programs like Safe Communities. County-wide organizations, such as the Traffic Improvement Association of Oakland County, have provided safety assistance directly to municipalities. Local units of government need assistance for traffic safety activities. Of those surveyed for this report, only 17 percent felt they were self-sufficient in matters of traffic safety. Municipalities reported that a lack of funding, proper equipment, and educational opportunities hampered their traffic safety efforts. Any program initiated to facilitate cooperation should be designed to encourage participation, while recognizing that local units of government are hindered by limited resources. Specific recommendations for facilitating cooperation include: Publish a directory of traffic safety related agencies at the regional level and distribute them to known agencies. The directory should identify agencies by type and primary interest. Individual agencies could network among themselves, develop programs relevant to their interests, and reach economies of scale relative to their available resources. The directory must be updated on an ongoing basis. Develop programs that are important to many types of agencies. Traffic safety affects many parts of society. Seeking input from law enforcement, engineers, planners, elected officials, academics, as well as the general public will build trust in the traffic safety community. New and novel ways of dealing with traffic safety problems can be found by bringing groups together. Increase exposure of traffic safety coordination opportunities. Some local agencies are aware of statewide or regional organizations, but do not interact with the organizations. This can be mitigated through the use of existing support organizations, such as the Michigan Safe Communities program. Improve the focus of state traffic safety efforts. A few organizations surveyed mentioned that some statewide programs duplicated efforts. Many people who are active in the State Safety Commission are also performing duties on the SMS Steering Committee and SMS Action Teams. Consolidating efforts, while still maintaining oversight can make better use of limited

30 24 traffic safety resources. Recommendations for Future Surveys Collecting of information about those involved in traffic safety activities in Southeast Michigan is an important way to mitigate the problem of traffic crashes. Ongoing efforts to improve surveys should consider: Identifying municipalities that have multiple departments working on traffic safety. For this project, only one survey was sent to each municipality. This survey method may exclude key traffic safety personnel from municipalities that have multiple departments working on traffic safety, such as a traffic engineer and law enforcement officials. Sending surveys to organizations beyond municipalities. County road commissions, county sheriffs, and other organizations participate in ongoing safety activities. Including them in survey efforts could broaden the scope of those involved in safety activities. For ongoing survey collection and analysis, making an effort to focus on attitudes towards existing traffic safety organizations. An accurate assessment of the work of existing organizations can help refocus efforts within the traffic safety community, and facilitate before-and-after studies when changes are made to traffic safety organizations.
