Safety PlanAdopted

Regional Safety Action Plan

Sets a goal of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2050, identifies the regional High Injury Network, and lists 42 priority safety projects.

Between 2020 and 2024, 412 people were killed and 2,188 were seriously injured in traffic crashes in the North Ridge region. The Regional Safety Action Plan uses five years of crash data to identify where and why serious crashes occur and sets out engineering, policy, and education strategies to prevent them.

High Injury Network

The plan identifies 214 miles of roadway, about 6 percent of the regional network, where 58 percent of fatal and serious injury crashes occurred.

Eligibility for federal safety grants

Adoption of the plan makes member jurisdictions eligible to apply for Safe Streets and Roads for All implementation grants for projects identified in the plan.

Key findings

  • People walking account for 9 percent of crashes but 27 percent of traffic deaths.
  • Roadway departure crashes on rural two-lane roads account for 38 percent of deaths.
