Amy Whitfield, NMDOT Special Director, presented New Mexico’s Target Zero initiative, a
statewide effort to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2050, grounded in data-driven strategies,
equity, and cross-agency accountability. Amy Whitfield highlighted New Mexico’s persistently
high pedestrian and crash fatality rates and emphasized the urgency of coordinated action
among state, local, and community partners. Amy Whitfield outlined the Safe System
Approach and stressed that meaningful progress requires collaboration across transportation,
public health, social services, and economic development sectors. She invited local
governments to join NMDOT’s new Vision Zero cohort launching in January, aimed at building
shared expertise and developing community-specific strategies to reduce fatalities statewide.

5. REPORTS FROM NMDOT
Planning Bureau – Allison Gillette
Allison Gillette provided an update from the NMDOT Planning Bureau, highlighting the
reopening of the federal BUILD (formerly RAISE) grant program, which offers infrastructure
grants of up to $25 million and closes February 24th. She noted that DFA’s Federal Grants
Management Bureau will host a workshop on December 18th and encouraged agencies
interested in applying to coordinate with the Northwest COG for capacity-building support.
Allison also explained the availability of the state’s non-competitive Federal Match Fund,
which can help applicants meet required matches. She shared updates on new Outdoor
Recreation Division grant opportunities and noted that the transportation on-call program,
including work on the 30th Street road diet, is nearing completion. Finally, she mentioned
that the Transportation Project Fund (TPF) season is approaching and offered assistance if
additional presentations are needed.
District 5 – Javier Martinez
Javier Martinez reported that the agency is preparing for the upcoming legislative session,
particularly regarding the LGRF and TPF programs. He noted that no significant changes are

Agenda Item #4
Subject: National Performance Management Measures for
Highway Safety Improvement Program (PM 1)
Prepared by: Peter Koeppel, MPO Officer
Date: January 14, 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 is being presented to both committees in November for their information. It
will be 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.
 FMPO Policy Committee action is due no later than February 28, 2026.
ATTACHMENTS
 NMDOT’s Safety Performance Measure Target Report – PM 1 for Year 2026
 PC Resolution 2026-1 Regarding Safety Performance Measure (PM 1)
ACTION ITEM

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 20]
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:
20

[PAGE 21]
• 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.
