Safety Action Plan Introduction
CRCOG has received a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant to supplement the Regional Transportation Safety Plan for the CRCOG region. The new federal SS4A grant program takes steps to formalize the Safe System approach in local safety planning documents through its Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (Action Plan) requirements. The Action Plan requirements are important now, because CRCOG municipalities seeking future SS4A implementation grant funds require an Action Plan. The 8 components of an Action Plan are:
- Leadership Commitment and Goal Setting
- Planning Structure
- Safety Analysis
- Engagement and Collaboration
- Equity Considerations
- Policy and Process Changes
- Strategy and Project Selections
- Progress and Transparency
Vision Zero Task Force
CRCOG has formed a Vision Zero Task Force to provide leadership and oversight of the development of our Regional Transportation Safety Action Plan.
The Vision Zero Task Force is in the process of developing Vision Zero goal for reduction of fatal and serious injury crashes in the CRCOG region.
Safe Systems Approach
The development of the safety action plan will employ the Safe System Approach concepts of as outlined in the National Roadway Safety Strategy as linked here: National Roadway Safety Strategy
CRCOG Resources
A wealth of crash data is available at the UConn Crash Repository website per this link: UConn Crash Data Repository.
Additional information on CRCOG's Regional Transportation Safety Plan can be found here: Regional Transportation Safety Plan.
Next Steps
CRCOG staff has selected consultant resources to assist in the development of the 8 Action Plan components and completion of a Regional Transportation System Action Plan. More information coming soon.
