1. To minimize our commitment to upgrading highway safety – project scoping cannot exempt safety challenges out. 2. To be used on all projects whose scope seems simple - only those that truly are. 3. To reduce project engineering - only perceived unnecessary detailing. 14

Born a decade ago in Missouri when their transportation system needs began to exceed funding. “Put away your manuals and focus on the system’s needs.” Initial success encouraged other states to try. Engineering is No Challenge when Money is No Object. 20
Goal: Build “good” projects, not “great” projects, to achieve a great system. Properly defines the scope by focusing on achieving the project purpose & need while considering the surroundings of each project. “Right-Sized Projects” by revising existing design criteria & standards 21
Goal: Meet statewide needs by reducing costs throughout the project development process and extended into operations and maintenance of all facilities. The project will achieve stated goals /objectives and deliver the highest rate of return for the investment (and watching for diminishing returns). “Right-Sized Projects” by assuming the existing condition is the baseline design thus a positive outcome results when the project is improved. 22
Currently all Interstate and arterial resurfacing projects are being reviewed to determine what upgrades are specifically necessary to address Substantive Safety. Future Policy to set forth Practical Design/Solutions policy with considerations for Context Sensitive Solutions and the Highway Safety Manual. 23
