14 As part of the initial efforts to help the HSM balloting process, the NCHRP Project 17-38 team completed a series of briefing-related tasks. The following summarizes each task: 1. Developed content outlines for briefing AASHTO com- mittees on the HSM. Following a webinar meeting with the NCHRP Project 17-38 panel, the project team refined the materials in preparation for briefings with the various key AASHTO committees. 2. Recommended the length(s) and delivery method(s) for the briefings to best meet the needs of the various audiences. 3. Developed the HSM briefing materials for the AASHTO committees. In addition to a handout, the briefing materi- als included a presentation with speaker notes. 4. Presented a briefing to the NCHRP Project 17-38 panel, key AASHTO members, and others identified by NCHRP. 5. Planned for and conducted several briefings for key AASHTO committees as directed by NCHRP. The brief- ings were directed to the following AASHTO committees: • AASHTO Subcommittee on Highway Traffic Safety, • AASHTO Subcommittee on Traffic Engineering, • TRB/AASHTO Roadside Safety joint meeting, • AASHTO Subcommittee on Design, and • AASHTO Subcommittee on Safety Management. 6. Developed a “generic” presentation with speaker notes suitable for briefings to a variety of organizations such as American Public Works Association (APWA), Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Association of Metro- politan Planning Organizations/National Association of Regional Councils (AMPO/NARC), National Associa- tion of County Engineers (NACE), and Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). This presentation was used for several regional and national briefings and the content has now been incorporated into the Module 1 presenta- tion of the training material.
