A - Project Overview
B - Crash Modification Factor
Purpose: The crash modification factor (CMF) identifies the anticipated safety benefits of the proposed project. For example, a CMF of 0.975 indicates a countermeasure is expected to reduce the indicated type of crashes by 2.5%. Projects with a lower CMF (higher crash reduction) will score more points in the safety evaluation for the ARLE Funding Program. The CMF Clearinghouse website (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/) contains thousands of studies on safety benefits of various types of projects.
Use the CMF Clearinghouse website to identify the countermeasure which is most closely aligned with your proposed project by entering search terms, and enter the information for the most relevant study below.
