West Virginia has the 6th largest road system in the nation,
with 93% of all state roadways as part of the state system. In 2013, 75% of the
332 traffic-related fatalities were roadway departure crashes (the national
average is 57%), and nearly 85% of those were off the interstate system, more
than 70% of fatalities in rural locations. Redirected traffic often has to bear
significant delays, if appropriate detour routes are even available to all
traffic.
These two pieces of information made the need clear for improved
incident management to increase mobility and improve driver and responder
safety. This Lesson Learned outlines the state’s creative approach to garnering
needed funds to address this issue.
