State transportation officials are looking for the public’s help in updating Arizona’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan and creating the state’s first Active Transportation Safety Action Plan.
Several meetings have been scheduled at which the Arizona Department of Transportation will ask about safety concerns and priorities to help develop the plans.
Federal regulations require each state to have a Strategic Highway Safety Plan for reducing fatalities and serious injuries on public roadways and to update that plan every five years, according to a release.
ADOT and its partners are also developing Arizona’s first Active Transportation Safety Action Plan to address a rise in pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities in Arizona, the vast majority of which occur on local roads, the release stated.
The plan will recommend location-specific projects "to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists where they interact with the state highway system."
