COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN
Project Overview
The Waco MPO is developing a regional Safety Action Plan to outline data-driven strategies to reduce transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries across the MPO planning area. Improving transportation safety is a top priority for the MPO.
The Safety Action Plan will:
-
Analyze recent crash trends and contributing factors based on crash data
-
Identify emphasis areas and priorities for safety improvements
-
Develop system-wide safety countermeasures and location-specific project recommendations
-
Coordinate efforts across jurisdictions within the MPO region
-
Establish performance measures to track and monitor progress toward reducing fatalities and serious injuries
The plan will offer a proactive approach for addressing safety concerns on all public roads in the area. Recommendations will provide a framework for investing in safety projects through programs such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
