Working Together to Make Our Roads Safer
In 2024, our region experienced thousands of crashes resulting in injuries, serious injuries, and loss of life. Behind every number is a person—a neighbor, family member, friend, or coworker.
CRTPO is committed to creating a transportation system where safety is a priority for everyone.
The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will use crash data, community feedback, and transportation expertise to identify strategies that address the most significant safety challenges facing our region.
What Is the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan?
The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) is a regional effort to better understand where and why serious crashes happen and identify projects, policies, and programs that can be implemented to improve safety.
The plan focuses on reducing fatal and serious injury crashes for all roadway users, including:
Drivers
Passengers
Pedestrians
Cyclists
Transit Riders
People of all ages and abilities
Through data analysis and community engagement, CRTPO will develop recommendations that help make streets safer today and into the future.
A Data-Driven Approach to Safer Streets
The CSAP process will combine:
Crash Data Analysis
Understanding where serious crashes occur and identifying roadway safety trends.
Community Input
Learning directly from residents, commuters, and transportation users about their experiences.
Safety Strategies
Evaluating projects, policies, and programs that can be implemented to improve safety throughout the region.
Regional Collaboration
Working with local governments, transportation partners, community organizations, and residents to develop meaningful recommendations.
