3  Education Zero Fatalities Driver Education  Enforcement High Visibility Technology Impaired Programs  Policy Multi-Agency Efforts Inform Legislators  Data Improvement SHSP Strategies

4  Engineering Rumble Strips Curve Delineation Shoulder Treatments Cable Barrier Rail Innovative Intersections Traffic Signal Modifications Intersection Lighting SHSP Strategies

5  Creation of HSIP Secondary Roads program – Set aside $2 million in HSIP funding – Sought state aid grant to provide match – Offering design and construction inspection services to counties – Seek systemic improvements across one or multiple counties – Net zero cost to the counties Efforts to Reduce Crashes on County Roads in Iowa
