How We Fit In

The Headquarters Traffic Section and the Office of Highway Safety were combined into one office in 2004.  In 2006, the Maintenance Section was added to form the Highway Operations and Safety section.  This section is under the Division of Highways of the Idaho Transportation Department and works closely with other Department sections and districts to promote safe driving behaviors and improve the safety of roadways on the state highway system.

The Director of the Idaho Transportation Department serves as the Governors highway safety representative.  The Office of Highway Safety is managed by the Highway Safety Manager.  The Office of Highway Safety consists of two teams: the  records team and the programs team.  The records team is responsible for maintaining, updating, and ensuring the quality of the statewide collision database.  The program team is  responsible for administering Idaho’s Federal highway safety grant funds and analyzing and disseminating the crash data.  All grants are subject to approval by the Idaho Traffic Safety Commission and the Idaho Transportation Board.
