COUNTYWIDE
LOCAL ROADS SAFETY PLAN
Project Overview
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), in partnership with its member agency local jurisdictions, is developing a countywide Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP) for all incorporated and unincorporated communities of Santa Clara County. An LRSP provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on local roads. This plan will enable local agencies in Santa Clara County to enhance traffic safety for all modes of transportation and for all ages and abilities.
The goal is to develop a successful LRSP by analyzing historic collision databases and creating a decision-making process that includes public outreach and stakeholder participation using the five "Es" of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response Services, and Emerging Technologies.
