This article insert briefly describes the Safety Analyst. It consists of a set of software tools available from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to help highway agencies analyze the safety effects of infrastructure improvements at specific sites on a highway and street network. The tools were developed through a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pooled-fund study that ran from 2001 to 2009 with the participation of 27 state highway agencies and other stakeholders. The software includes four modules that together address the six steps of the safety management process described in Part B of the "Highway Safety Manual."
