Safety Management System

Numerous state and local agencies strive to reduce fatalities and injuries on Wyoming’s highways. As required by highway safety legislation, the Wyoming Strategic Highway Safety Plan (WSHSP) will guide current activities and create a future direction for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to improving safety by all safety partners in Wyoming.

The WYDOT SMS Committee assumed the responsibility to be the coordinating body for the development and future updates of the WSHSP. The purpose of the WSHSP is to focus Wyoming’s safety partners on reducing the number of fatal and serious injury crashes. The WSHSP does not address every safety strategy currently being implemented or every strategy that may be implemented in the state, but primarily provides the guidance to the safety community to develop and implement the strategies with the greatest potential to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes.
