Adopted July 13, 2010
Amended December 13, 2011
WAMPO places a high priority on road safety in the region. Road safety, however, is a shared responsibility between communities, families and individuals, government agencies, local government and many other organizations.
Road crashes place a heavy burden on the regional economy, families and individuals. Improvements in road safety are needed to reduce this overall social cost, as well as enhance the economic development and productivity of the region.
On July 13, 2010 the Transportation Policy Body (TPB) approved the first WAMPO regional Safety Plan in order to address how safety in the region can be improved and the number of road crashes reduced.
On December 13, 2011 the TPB approved an update to the WAMPO Safety Plan. The update was guided by a regional multi-disciplinary Safety Advisory Group comprised of law enforcement, emergency response, fire, engineering, transit, and other regional safety interests. The updated Safety Plan identifies the transportation safety needs and priorities for the region through a strategic and data-driven process. The Safety Plan also identifies strategies to address the priorities and reduce the number of transportation-related fatalities, injuries, and crashes. The Safety Advisory Group will continue to meet quarterly to begin implementing the strategies in the Safety Plan.
