SWOT Methodology
» Methodology • Survey at Annual Meeting
• Advisory Committee Discussion
• 13 Individual Interviews
» Purpose • Inform the CHSP
– Management/Organizational Structure
– Processes
– Strategies
– Action steps
7
SWOT - Strengths
» Annual Meeting enables partnerships, collaboration, and
networking and sustains momentum in safety activities.
» Montana has maintained a good level of implementation
activity with most emphasis area teams continuing to meet
regularly.
» Large and diverse group of active and engaged stakeholders.
8
SWOT - Strengths
» The State Highway Traffic Safety Section (SHTSS) has initiated
a process of formally scoring grant applications, which will
ensure continuous improvement and focus on results.
» Strategies in the Annual Element are tracked and reported in a
very thorough and comprehensive manner.
9
SWOT - Weaknesses
» Culture that has historically tolerated certain unsafe driving
behaviors such as impaired driving and non-use of seatbelts.
» Lack of legislative awareness and involvement in the CHSP.
» Flexibility of the implementation process and reporting may
need to be improved.
» Prosecution data are not easily accessible; difficult to
determine which judicial education and law enforcement
programs are improving outcomes
10
SWOT - Opportunities
» Director Tooley strongly supports data-driven decisions and
provides strong safety leadership with the roll out of the
Vision Zero message. • An opportunity exists for Vision Zero to serve as overarching
branding to communicate about safety to wide range of Montana
agencies and the public.
» Safety effort would be greatly strengthened by re-establishing
an Executive Committee to ensure support by all agency
leadership.
11
SWOT - Opportunities
» MDT is evaluating engineering policy alignment with Vision
Zero.
» New safety managements system is under development,
which will improve crash data for analysis and integration of
multiple datasets
» New approaches to making legislative changes should be
considered. • Potential idea is to develop a Traffic Safety Act – a plan for
addressing multiple safety law opportunities. Legislators could
be asked to approve Vision Zero.
12
» Evaluation must be a central part of safety efforts, to make
sure the programs being implemented are really having an
impact on reducing fatalities and injuries.
» Messaging for education and outreach needs to be carefully
crafted to hit on the right values and actually change behavior,
building upon lessons learned in the public health arena.
» Multi-jurisdictional enforcement campaigns (county, city,
state) and saturation patrols would be very effective.
13
SWOT - Opportunities
SWOT - Threats
» Need to avoid the CHSP simply documenting what people are
already doing. Now there is overemphasis on reporting. The
process is having limited success in advancing new activities.
» Concern that Montana is too broad in its approach to safety.
There is overlap of emphasis areas and strategies. • Over extends staff
• May not generate the best possible results in coordinating efforts
to reduce crash fatalities and injuries.
» It will be important in selecting the emphasis areas not to limit
the future ability to address emerging issues.

Data Analysis
Crash Data Overview
» Based on crash report
» Data from MDT Safety Management System
» All public roads
» Lacking Tribal injury data (only fatal)
