The Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has a requirement for Technical Support for Highway Safety.

One of the key responsibilities of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Safety (HSA) is to develop and implement highway safety programs. The effective execution of this responsibility requires an integrated program development process which includes, but is not limited to, the following: feasibility studies, focus group meetings, development of technical reports, guidance, standards, and training; development of regulatory requirements; and outreach to industry. Seamless continuity and integration of these efforts is critical to achieve the highest possible reliability and effectiveness. HSA contains five safety-focused teams related to the following activities: Strategic Integration, Implementation and Evaluation, Safety Design, Safety Operations, and Data and Analysis Tools. This project will support the mission and related activities of HSA, its partners and customers.
