abstract="Many jurisdictions have developed a high-level traffic safety policy document, such as the American &quot;Strategic Highway Safety Plan&quot; (SHSP) or the Canadian &quot;Traffic Safety Action Plan&quot; (TSAP). A SHSP and TSAP are both a scientific, data-driven, four to five year comprehensive safety document that is designed to identify a jurisdiction's areas of safety concern known as &quot;emphasis areas&quot; and establish target safety goals (i.e., collision reduction goal(s)) for each chosen emphasis area. A TSAP often includes additional information, such as network screening results and general safety strategies/programs for each chosen emphasis area. Most of the existing literatures focus on describing the process or outcome of the development of a state or province-level policy document and has little resources specifically for a small municipality. This study discusses the development of a TSAP for a small municipality through a case study for the City of Saskatoon. This study used the most recent ten years (2001-2010) of collision data in the City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The study provides knowledge for those who wish to develop a TSAP by describing the process and highlighting the challenges in developing a TSAP for a small municipality.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
