Figure 4 provides the performance measures and goal statements developed by the GHSA and NHTSA. Note that some goals are higher than the previous year’s experience and to some, it may seem counterintuitive to set a goal that is higher. However, in this plan and also in Wisconsin’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan, the goal is a sustained reduction in fatalities over the prior five years. When setting goals, it is important to not let the goals be driven by what may simply be an anomalous year. SAFETY PLAN FFY 2015 HIGHWAY WISCONSIN OF STATE 3 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLANNING PROCESS The highway safety planning process is continuous. At any one time during the year, BOTS may be working on previous, current, and upcoming fiscal year plans. The flowchart below illustrates the components of the planning process. Develop performance Define and articulate problems goals and select measures Collaborate with partners HSPP Flowchart Evaluate results HSP Flowchart and adjust problem statements Identify, prioritize, and select programs and projects Articulate objectives related to the goals Highway Safety Planning Timeline November to January Prepare the prior year's Annual Report. This document is the companion report to the same year's Highway Safety Performance Plan. The report provides NHTSA and the public with a summary of how funds were actually spent in that fiscal year. January and Continuing Wisconsin is unique in that we have a law (s. 83.013, Wis. Stat.) that requires all 72 of its counties to have a Traffic Safety Commission.

The statistics in this annual report reflect the lived experience of real people who, when suffering the effects of poverty, got a little help through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, the work of a great staff and, most importantly, the generosity of people like you. It may be hard to visualize all those who benefited from receiving more than $2.6 million in assistance from us last year. But I invite you to stretch your imagination even further to see the good the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has done during the 90 years it has been at work here in Madison. It was in 1925 that a group of concerned Madisonians invited members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul from Milwaukee to come and help them organize in two Catholic parishes, Holy Redeemer and St. Bernard. Since those early years, Madison has been blessed with many dedicated St. Vincent de Paul members, volunteers and supporters – now mostly forgotten – who were good friends of the poor. It was the president of the Society in Milwaukee, Val Blatz (of the beer-brewing family), who came to Madison to help us start a store just after the Great Depression. Mathias Karls was one of those dedicated early local members to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude.

  • Mid-West Family 2021 Community Awareness Grant
    Request for Proposal: Mid-West Family 2021 Community Awareness Grant Our commitment: the number one priority is our clients; serving the businesses and people of Madison and our surrounding areas with quality multimedia marketing and superior services. Background Mid-West Family is a locally operated multimedia marketing organization that runs eight radio stations in Madison, WI (WRIS, WJJO, WLMV, WOZN, WJQM, WWQM, WMGN, WHIT). In addition to our stations, we have a digital marketing team, interactive media resources, and a sales department. Our company has a long history of supporting and working with area nonprofit organizations in the realm of marketing and public relation campaigns. While there are a number of barriers that hinder nonprofits in Dane County, one frequently cited is the inability to adequately convey the organization’s message to the community. It is our desire to assist a nonprofit organization in launching and implementing a consistent, long- term marketing campaign via a Mid-West Family Community Awareness Grant (MWFCAG). This grant is issued to promote an organization and their mission or message through the use of The Resistance (WRIS), and potentially other Mid- West Family properties. Process Overview The review process will have two rounds. A panel comprised of Mid-West Family employees will initially review all submissions. This panel will forward three submissions to the public for two weeks of promotion. The Resistance (WRIS) will encourage listeners to donate to and promote the nonprofit of their choice, helping us decide which nonprofit will receive the grant. The organization’s history of community service, connection to the community, mission within the community, demonstration of need, population served and geographic region served will also be deciding factors in which nonprofit will ultimately receive the grant.
