The Arkansas Highway Safety Office (AHSO) continues to modify and fine-tune our 2024-2026 THSP with an emphasis on programs and strategies that will better address our performance targets if it appears these targets are not on track to be met.

The Arkansas FY 2026 Annual Grant Application indicates where the state is not making the necessary progress to meet the goals outlined in our 2024-2026 THSP and plans for adjusting current programming and implementing new projects that will better address identified issues and the corresponding performance targets.

As shown in the charts that follow, it appears that some of the benchmarks established in the FY 24-26 Triennial HSP will not be met for FY26. It should be noted that these targets were based on the five-year average (2018- 2022) utilizing the FARS data available at that time. These 5-year averages included the uptick in fatalities attributed to the COVID pandemic for the years 2020-2022. The higher numbers for these years skew the averages. As those years drop off the averages should reflect a more realistic view of programming success.

Reduced enforcement levels due to a shortage of law enforcement (LE) officers in combination with the continuing increase in the number of LE agencies utilizing eCrash also remains a factor. The increase in the number of agencies submitting crash reports through eCrash improves the overall accuracy of reporting but also increases the numbers reported in each area in contrast to the previous years.

The addition of the new AHSO LEL and resulting increase in outreach efforts to law enforcement agencies has generated more interest and increased the number of law enforcement agencies participating in the AHSO STEP and Mini-STEP projects. Lunch and Learn’s are back on track for FY26 to provide information and education

79.5 77.7 No rev 10/01/2025 4 for the agencies and officers that work these projects to assist with questions, problems and enforcement strategies.

The AHSO is addressing all targets that were not met last year through continued expansion of our STEP and mini-STEP programs and increasing the number of agencies utilizing eCrash. One hundred (100) active agencies participated in STEP and mini-STEP projects for 2025. Currently, 145 agencies are registered to participate in FY26 STEP and Mini STEP programs. Enforcement efforts conducted by these agencies are expected to be even more effective thanks to the “data dashboards” they can now access to analyze the crashes in their areas to coordinate enforcement efforts and target high crash areas.

Programming for some strategies has been expanded or modified, and new projects are being implemented based on current data and community/stakeholder input. Projects that were scheduled to be implemented in FY25 but delayed due to circumstances beyond our control are now on track to be implemented in FY26.

The Arkansas Highway Safety Office will issue sub-grants to approximately 180 agencies and courts statewide to address Highway Safety issues in FY26. The AHSO continues to partner with the ARDOT/SHSP Planning Group and others to incorporate the Safe System Approach and coordinate planning efforts.

1.4.a - Adjustments to Countermeasure Strategy for Program Funding

For FY26, all countermeasure strategies outlined in the 2024–2026 Triennial Highway Safety Plan (HSP) will be continued. The countermeasures listed below have been added.

In the FY25 Annual Grant Application, the countermeasure strategy for the “RideShare” project was incorrectly listed as JOL Liaison and should have instead been listed as Alternative Transportation. The countermeasure Alternative Transportation has been added to the FY24-26 Triennial Highway Safety Plan (THSP) and the countermeasure for the “RideShare” project corrected for FY26.

Countermeasure Strategy – Table 38 Countermeasure Strategy

Alternative Transportation

Problem (link to strategy)

Alternative transportation programs, such as rideshare services, have been shown to reduce incidents of impaired driving. Research indicates that the introduction of services like Lyft and Uber into the market is associated with increased ride volumes and a corresponding decline in DUI incidents. In fact, 65% of riders report using these services specifically when they anticipate consuming alcohol or other substances that could impair their ability to drive.

Countermeasure Justification

Alcohol and Drug Impaired Driving – CTW Alternative Transportation ***

Target (link to strategy) C-5 Alcohol-Impaired driving fatalities Estimated 3-year funding allocation $105,000 Strategy to project considerations

The rationale for this countermeasure strategy is to provide alternative ride services to decrease the incidents of driving while impaired.

Planned Activities Unique Identifier: Planned Activity Names:

AL-2026-19 RideShare

The Countermeasure Strategy name “School Programs” (FY24-26 THSP Table 16) will be changed to “Teen Driver Education Programs”

A Peer-to-Peer countermeasure justification will be added to the countermeasure strategy “Teen Driver Education Program”. The new programming being added to use this countermeasure strategy is the “Safety Ambassador” projects. These initiatives aim to leverage youth engagement to encourage the adoption of safe driving behaviors—both among the students delivering the intervention and those receiving it. According to the NHTSA publication Peer-to-Peer Teen Traffic Safety Program Guide, teens who consistently participate in positive, peer-driven initiatives are less likely to engage in risky behaviors (Benton, as cited in Varenhorst, 2004). In these interventions, both participants and recipients benefit from the positive influence.

The AHSO will also be including the countermeasure justification of Pre-Licensure Driver Education through the new “Safe Roads Ahead” driver training project. This initiative will provide first-time drivers with a structured educational experience, including 30 hours of classroom instruction and 8 hours of individualized behind-the-wheel training.

Driver education has long been promoted as an effective method for teaching both vehicle operation and safe driving practices. In a study by Shell et al. (2015), teens who completed a formal driver education program experienced significantly fewer crashes, including injury and fatal rev 10/01/2025 11 crashes, fewer violations, and fewer alcohol-related offenses compared to peers who only completed a supervised driving log.

Problem (link to strategy)

Arkansas recorded 695 (FARS) fatalities in 2021. In 2022 preliminary state data shows this number decreased to 644. With a Safety Belt compliance rate in FY22 of 79.1%, Arkansas’ use rate is well below the national average of 91.6% and is considered a “low rate” state for Section 405b funding qualification.

In 2021, 76 drivers under the age of 21 were victims of fatal crashes in Arkansas. Motor vehicles crashes are the #1 cause of unintentional injury and death among teenagers (NHTSA). The goal for this countermeasure is to reduce total fatalities and injuries to those under age 21. The upward trend in fatalities for this age group from 48 (2017) to 78 (2020) and 76 (2021) together with factors such as the increase in the interstate speed limit and distracted driving occurrences are concerning.

Traffic Safety Guide” Target (link to strategy) C-9 Drivers 20 and under that are involved in fatal crashes Estimated 3-year funding allocation $1,103,375 Strategy to project considerations

Schools provide well-defined and somewhat controlled audiences for seat belt use programs. Evaluations of school programs that have been conducted have shown an increase in belt use. Peers will receive training to effectively understand and communicate highway safety issues among their fellow students. They will also be equipped with educational materials to support peer-led learning initiatives.

Additionally, teens in underserved communities will be offered access to driver education from licensed instructors—opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable to them.

According to the NHTSA publication Peer-to-Peer Teen Traffic Safety Program Guide, teens who consistently participate in positive, peer-driven initiatives are less likely to engage in risky behaviors (Benton, as cited in Varenhorst, 2004). In these interventions, both participants and recipients benefited from the positive influence.
