Regional Safety Action Plan

Executive Summary

WestCOG is updating its Regional Safety Action Plan to identify opportunities to improve transportation safety and reduce fatal and serious injury crashes throughout the region.

Building on the 2021 Regional Transportation Safety Plan, the updated plan uses crash data, predictive analysis, and local knowledge to identify high-risk roadways and intersections. The planning process also incorporates input from municipal officials, transportation stakeholders, and the public to better understand safety concerns and community priorities.

The plan will identify priority locations and recommend proven safety countermeasures tailored to local conditions. By combining data-driven analysis with community engagement, WestCOG aims to support safer streets for all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users.

The Regional Safety Action Plan will provide a framework for municipalities to advance transportation safety improvements, strengthen regional coordination, and pursue future funding opportunities to implement recommended projects.

Regional Safety Action Plan Survey

Community input is an important part of WestCOG’s Regional Safety Action Plan. WestCOG invites residents and other road users to share their experiences, identify locations where they feel unsafe, and provide feedback on transportation safety concerns throughout the region.

The public survey helps WestCOG better understand local safety priorities and complements crash data and technical analysis to inform the plan’s recommendations.
