The problems impeding the development of effective safety programs are listed, and observations are made regarding factors which have contributed to a pessimistic view of highway safety. The challenge faced by safety administrators is to apply state-of-the-art methods to increase the probability of implementing cost-effective solutions. While the level of effort is a function of the size and safety responsibilities of an agency, a number of techniques are applicable to all agencies. These include planning techniques, analytical techniques, personnel issues, and cost/benefit analysis techniques. Each of these techniques are briefly discussed.

Workshop sponsored by the Committee on Planning and Administration of Transportation Safety of the Transportation Research Board , held in Kings Island, Ohio, August 4-6, 1981.
