Providing a safe transportation system for all users is a top priority for our region. Over the last five years, the number of vehicle-related fatalities and serious injuries has trended downward, while the number of bicycle and pedestrian fatalities has stayed relatively flat. While we have continued to improve the safety of our roadways for vehicles, we have failed to provide the same safety improvements for those walking and biking.

Federally Required Metric
MPOs are federally required to use a performance-based approach for guiding transportation investment and policy decisions. Transportation legislation identifies several performance metrics MPOs must monitor, establish targets for, and report on.
