This is a great idea, which everyone should be able to support. I would argue that the HSIP funds should be more than 10-12%, however, given the related factors that are arguably even more important than statistical "safety" itself: walkability, economic growth, public health, environmental sustainability, and the reduction of the state's serious health disparities. Perhaps the CT Department of Public Health could write a letter to help frame the priorities in a way that ConnDOT's engineers would understand. Great post!
