What are the Georgia Strategic Highway Safety Plan and the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety?


o The Governor’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a comprehensive alignment of all highway and transportation safety plans. The SHSP provides a comprehensive framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries, enabling Georgia to make data driven strategic investment decisions. The SHSP considers the results of state, regional or local transportation and highway safety planning processes. The SHSP integrates the "four E's" of safety - engineering, education, enforcement and emergency services efforts.


o The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) is the “E”ducation agency to reduce highway crashes, injuries, and fatalities. However, GOHS plays a major role in the coordination of “E”forcement throughout the state. The GOHS’s mission is to educate the public on traffic safety. The GOHS joins many safety partners to accomplish our combined missions to implement life saving programs.
