Problem and/or Opportunity Identification Problem Identification is a critical piece of the program plan. It summarizes crash and other consequence data, related behaviors, and beliefs, and reveals opportunities for improvement. Consequences are the result of behaviors, and behaviors are influenced by beliefs. As you review data, it may be helpful to brainstorm questions you are curious about. Some ideas are shared below.

Summary of Crash and Other Consequences Data

• You can start by copying and pasting then updating your problem ID from the 3HSP or Annual

Report (or a combination of both – note that as of the writing of this - the 2023 annual report is being finalized but is located here).

• What is consequence data?? Consequences are the result of behaviors. Crashes that result in fatalities and serious injuries are our standard consequence data. The WTSC dashboards are a primary source for this data, and there may be other data sources that you want to consult. Other consequences may include citations, arrests, economic burden, reduced mobility/congestion, etc.

• Potential questions to consider:

o What are the biggest problems identified in the data?

o How are crashes and other consequences changing?

o Where is the problem most prevalent? What counties stood out?

o How are certain populations or regions/counties over-represented?

Summary of Behaviors and Beliefs from the Statewide Survey

• Briefly describe the priority behaviors (ex: impaired driving or speeding) related to the problems.

consequences (remember, consequences are things like crashes and other factors listed above).

What behaviors are related to these consequences? These behaviors may be unknown.

• Describe or summarize the beliefs associated with behaviors that lead to negative consequences.

How are the beliefs of those involved in crashes driving their behaviors? For example, a subpopulation may believe that consuming cannabis does not increase their crash risk if they drive within two hours after consuming. These beliefs may be unknown.

• Your analysis may involve a discussion of sub-populations or specific demographics. That is OK. You will summarize these populations and communities in the “Focus Population” section.

• Are there any data points from the statewide survey that can be used as a baseline? For example, if your program is funding projects in a given area focused on deterring impaired driving, you might consider making the percent of people answering the question “How likely is a driver in your community to be caught by the police for driving under the influence of alcohol” as a measure you want to grow over time.

• Are there behaviors/beliefs and/or sub-populations or regions that may need to be explored or over-sampled in future iterations of the statewide survey?

• Remember to seek out help from Jay and Katie on this. Staci and Max can also help.

Opportunities and Gaps

• Opportunities are aspects of the problems that can be improved. For example, if some people believe that it is safe to drive after consuming cannabis, there may be opportunities to change this belief and decrease cannabis-impaired driving.

• Another way to think about this section is gaps, that if filled, would improve circumstances. For example, prosecutors are not trained about DUI prosecution in law school, so they are not well prepared to prosecute impaired drivers. A gap! So, providing DUI bootcamp, a training specifically designed for new prosecutors is an opportunity.

• Briefly describe the priority opportunities or gaps that may affect beliefs / behaviors / consequences identified above.

• Are there opportunities to support projects or partners in a way that helps advance the agency’s strategic plan?

Focus Populations and Communities This section should explain who is the focus for your projects. This may be information about how certain populations are more likely to be involved in traffic crashes or other consequences. You may have discussed this in the problem ID section, in which case you would summarize your conclusions here. Again, the statewide survey should give you some indication of priority populations and/or communities. You might consider, what partners we can empower to address problems (consistent with the agency’s new mission statement/strategic plan).

Partners and Stakeholder Participation

• Briefly summarize stakeholder participation that contributed to problem identification, , opportunities, or countermeasures. Who did you consult? When? What was the theme of the feedback? Was there any feedback that you will not be able to address?

• How are you identifying new partners that can be engaged in the priority communities?

• What partners have you identified to address traffic safety in the priority communities?

• How will you empower those partners?

Summary of Countermeasure Strategies and Countermeasures This section asks you to describe the structure of countermeasures in your program plan. You can copy and paste much of this from the current 3HSP. In the new framework, NHTSA identifies Countermeasure

Strategies distinct from Countermeasures, with these definitions:

• Countermeasure Strategies: NHTSA’s definition from the 3HSP is “…proven effective or innovative countermeasure or group of countermeasures along with information on how the

State plans to implement those countermeasures.” They can be thought of as General or broad approaches; They can be a collection of countermeasures.

• Countermeasure: An activity or initiative to prevent, neutralize, or correct a specific problem.

Example: (from the Impaired Driving Program) https://stateofwa.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/WTSC-division/Shared%20Documents/COMM/b_HSP/2024/Chapters_3HSP/Washington%20FY%2024%203HSP%20-%20%20revisons%20after%20submittal.docx?d=wa4d99f8f4064484089d8ba4af662946e&csf=1&web=1&e=thaW5w https://www.nhtsa.gov/resources-guide/glossary-highway-safety-terms-and-definitions

• Countermeasure Strategy: Enforcement and Adjudication (making sure that when an impaired driver is arrested, that the system from arrest to sentencing works well).

• Countermeasures: (All these countermeasures support the overall countermeasure strategy of

Enforcement and Adjudication.)

o DRE Program o Ignition Interlock Program o Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors o Mobile Impaired Driving Unit o DUI Bench Book o DUI Officer Training/ARIDE

Important Note: A theory of change is required for all countermeasures. In adapting your program plan to the 3HSP you may have adopted new Countermeasure Strategies or Countermeasures. You may also have renamed countermeasures so that they aligned with “Countermeasures That Work” or NHTSA’s

Uniform Guidelines.
