Our Mission
The mission of the Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs (OHSJP) is to utilize state and federal resources to educate the public on highway safety issues for the purpose of reducing and eventually eliminating fatal crashes and injuries; to initiate and coordinate statewide education and enforcement campaigns and programs to promote highway safety goals; to partner with law enforcement agencies and others on highway safety initiatives; to serve as a custodian of statewide collision statistics; and to further the administration of justice through improvements to the criminal and juvenile justice systems through the administration of subgrants.
Strategic Highway Safety Plan
The South Carolina Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is the state’s comprehensive roadmap for reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
Led by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS), the 2025–2029 SHSP brings together transportation, law enforcement, public health, local governments, federal partners, and safety advocates with one shared goal: saving lives on South Carolina’s roadways.
