Development of the safety action plan shall include a detailed analysis of historical crash patterns, trends, and contributing factors. This analysis will identify hotspots and major contributing factors. This data-driven approach, along with equity considerations and engagement from the public and key stakeholders, will be used to develop engineered solutions and strategic initiatives that target the source of crash. The final plan shall include a prioritized list of treatments that can be applied systemically across the region, as well as targeted treatments for high-injury areas. In keeping with the USDOT Safe System Approach, the plan will also identify strategic initiatives such as educational campaigns that promote safe roadway usage.
