Safety Planning

This research will focus on changing the perception of highway safety increasing awareness of the problem and promoting a better understanding of how to address safety in the planning process. Current fatality and injury statistics indicate that more must be done. Providing planners stakeholders and the public with better information would help to integrate safety into transportation decision-making processes. Integrating safety into all aspects of planning will require educating transportation planners stakeholders and the public about safety issues and potential solutions.
