Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Survey Round #2
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Survey - Round #2
The Capital Region Planning Commission (CRPC) is developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan that will identify areas for roadway and safety improvements in five parishes.
The plan’s goal is to help prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries for all transportation users in the region, including motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit riders in Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston and West Baton Rouge Parishes.
The Safety Action Plan will identify a wide array of risk factors related to transportation fatalities and injuries, including the following:
· speeding
· impaired driving
· non-use of motorcycle helmets, seat belts, and child restraints
· distracted driving, and
· unsafe road infrastructure
This Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan is funded with a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Completing the plan will allow the parishes to apply for implementation of capital construction grant funds through the federal discretionary grant program.
Opportunities for the public to review and comment on the draft SS4A Safety Action Plan will be provided online and during in-person meetings before final decisions are made.
