5. REPORTS FROM NMDOT
Planning Bureau: Alison Gillette
Alison Gillette reported that NMDOT is continuing to advance funding notices and project
support, including TAP and RTP, despite the shutdown. She highlighted several active and
upcoming opportunities, including the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which supports
outdoor recreation projects such as parks, sidewalks, and trails, and the Trails+ Outdoor
Recreation Grant Program, with a January 31 deadline for trail development, signage, and
maintenance funding. Alison also noted the NM Finance Authority’s Local Government Planning
Fund, which can assist communities with asset management and transportation planning and
may require a 0–15% match based on financial capacity. She provided an overview of
NMDOT’s Transportation On-Call Services, which offers planning and evaluation support, such
as street-diet studies, safety plans, and trail planning at no cost to local governments. The
program uses an on-call consultant based in Houston, fully funded by NMDOT.
District 5 Engineer: Javier Martinez
Javier Martinez, NMDOT Assistant District 5 Engineer, provided updates from the district. He
reported that Rhonda Lopez, NMDOT District 5 Engineer, recently attended the Transportation
Commission meeting and noted that all Transportation Project Fund (TPF) applications and
resolutions had been submitted, signed, and returned. He added that the December Call for
Projects is expected soon, with the TPF timeline dependent on the upcoming legislative
session. Javier Martinez also stated that the bid for the F100 US 550 Phase II project has been
submitted, with construction anticipated to begin in the spring.
During project discussion, Sandra Lanier reported issues on US 550 involving a concrete carrier
and an asphalt spill affecting the northbound-to-southbound movement. She also asked about
the schedule for the next phase of the US 550 project near Milepost 168. Javier explained that
Phase III, extending to the Colorado state line, is currently in design for FY27–FY28.
9

[PAGE 10]
Scott Eckstein reported pavement concerns on US 64 eastbound near Andrea Drive and
McGee Park, where asphalt has rolled up on the concrete surface, creating noticeable bumps.
He also noted that in Bloomfield, at the US 550/US 64 eastbound interchange, the overhead
sign panel has been missing for approximately ten years, leaving only the frame. Scott
additionally mentioned increased traffic generated by the newly opened McDonald’s in
Bloomfield and inquired about the possibility of installing a traffic signal. Javier Martinez
responded that a traffic analysis had been conducted and the location did not meet the
necessary warrants for a signal.
Glojean Todacheene reported longstanding pothole issues near the CCSD bus barn, noting
heavy bus and residential traffic in the area. She also asked about a washout on Navajo Route
36 near the casino. Javier Martinez stated he was not aware of any current funding or active
projects for that location and recommended coordination with the Navajo Nation, adding that
NMDOT could assist in supporting or elevating the concern if needed.
Javier Martinez also provided an update on the TPF Navajo Award, explaining that the Navajo
Nation has signed the resolution and that the agreement is being updated, with completion
expected by the end of the year. He noted that the project is scheduled to go out to bid in
January or February, with construction planned for the summer. The project will include
installation of a traffic signal and new turn lanes at the intersection.
Peter Koeppel reported that he has reached out to the Navajo DOT and hopes they will be in
touch soon.

Agenda Item #4
Subject: National Performance Management Measures for
Highway Safety Improvement Program (PM 1)
Prepared by: Peter Koeppel, MPO Officer
Date: January 22, 2026
BACKGROUND
 23 CFR §490 Subpart B – National Performance Management Measures for
Highway Safety Improvement Program
 The FHWA requires that MPOs establish targets for five (5) safety performance
measures for all public roads in the MPO planning area within 180 days after
the State establishes each target.
 The five Performance Measures to be considered are: 1) Number of Fatalities,
2) Number of Serious Injuries, 3) Fatalities per 100 Million VMT (Vehicle Miles
Traveled) or Fatality Rate, 4) Serious Injuries per 100 Million VMT (Vehicle Miles
Traveled) or serious injury rate, and, 5) Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities
and Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries.
 The first three targets are common measures and must be identical to the
targets established for the Highway Safety Plan (HSP).
 MPOs may either: Agree to support State targets OR Establish specific numeric
targets for a safety performance measure (number or rate).
 Reporting is done on an annual basis, leaving the choice to adopt State
standards vs. establish MPO specific targets up to the MPO Policy Committee
each year.
CURRENT ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS
 This item was presented to both committees in November for their
information. It is being brought back to both the Technical and Policy
Committees in January for their recommendation/approval.
 Staff recommends that the state targets be adopted for 2026.

Performance Measure 1 Safety Targets 2026
Highway Safety Improvement Program
This document outlines the 2026 Safety Targets (PM 1) for New Mexico, as required by the 23 CFR
490. The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Multimodal Planning and Programs
Bureau (MPPB) and the Traffic Safety Division (TSD) are responsible for coordinating the setting of
PM 1 targets.
Overview of PM 1 Measures
NMDOT is required to set annual targets for five performance measures:
1. Number of Total Fatalities
2. Number of Serious Injuries
3. Fatality rate: fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles travelled (HMVMT)
4. Serious injury rate: serious injuries per HM VMT
5. Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries
The first three are considered “common measures” and ordinarily must be identical to the targets
established in the Highway Safety Plan (HSP), produced by the NMDOT Traffic Safety Division. However,
on January 12, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued the “Common Measure Safety
Target Waiver for CY 2026.” This memorandum allows the common measure targets for Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP)and Highway Safety Plan (HSP) to be different:
“States have been provided flexibility in establishing identical safety performance
targets for the three common measures (number of fatalities, rate of fatalities, and
number of serious injuries) between the HSIP and the State’s Highway Safety Plan (HSP)
by waiving the requirement under 23 CFR 490.209(a)(1).”
Coordination with Stakeholders
The NMDOT’s work implementing the Target Zero 2050 initiative is still underway so the Department
determined it was practical to hold the Calendar Year (CY) 2026 HSIP targets steady from CY 2025. As the
NMDOT’s Target Zero 2050 initiative advances the expectations, HSIP safety targets will be set to reflect
the decline in fatal and serious injury crashes that NMDOT is working towards.
The NMDOT Traffic Safety Division’s Highway Safety Plan (HSP) (required by NHTSA) is in the third
and final year of the three-year cycle, so the HSP targets, including the common measure targets,
are already set for CY 2026. Only the CY 2026 Safety Targets for the Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP) (an FHWA program) need to be set. Therefore, the 2026 Safety Targets stakeholder
coordination involved fewer groups than in prior years. The annual data stakeholders meeting to
review the crash data was not held due to the HSP targets being set for CY 2026. For the CY 2027
target setting a larger stakeholder process is planned in order to review the crash data and identify
HSP and HSIP safety targets. This year’s efforts included:

[PAGE 16]
1. On August 1, 2025, the MPPB sent the draft PM 1 target methodology memo, containing targets
for all five measures listed above, to the MPOs, NMDOT Special Director for Target Zero, FHWA-
NM, and NMDOT Traffic Safety Division Director, with a request for comments by August 15,
2025.
2. On August 25, 2025, MPPB submitted the 2025 HSIP Annual Report to FHWA, which contains the
final targets for the five measures listed above.
3. The MPOs have until February 28, 2026, to formally adopt the NMDOT PM 1 targets or set their
own quantifiable targets.
New Mexico Safety Performance Target Assessment
The FHWA conducts an annual safety performance assessment for each state’s HSIP. The FHWA NM
issued the safety performance assessment on May 19, 2025. The assessment covers the CY 2023 safety
targets, but the penalties are applied in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026. The table below shows the results
of the safety performance assessment.

Data Methodologies
In setting the 2026 safety targets, NMDOT held steady the CY 2025 targets. NMDOT data methodologies
are listed in the bullets below:
16

[PAGE 17]
• The ‘forecast.linear’ function was used in Excel, based on 6-years of actual crash data, to obtain
projected values for years 2025 and 2026.
• The preliminary Annual VMT for 2024 was provided by the Data Management Bureau of the
NMDOT Planning Division.
• Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) from 2019 through 2024, excluding 2020, was used to calculate
projected VMT values for 2025 and 2026.
• Crash data for 2024 is preliminary and was provided by the University of New Mexico (UNM).
• The source data table is attached as Appendix A. This data was used in each of the ‘forecast.linear’
functions in Excel to calculate the 2025 and 2026 projections. Appendix A also contains the data
that was used to calculate the five-year moving averages.
The graphs below show the linear forecast projections, the five-year moving average, and the CY 2026
targets. These graphs are provided to show the CY 2026 targets in relationship to the standard
methodology for setting targets. The total fatalities and rate of fatalities show achievable targets and the
serious injuries; rate of serious injuries and non-motorized targets show opportunity for improvement.
