Project Details

Abstract

The goal is to continue working with Regional LTAPs, TTAPs, CTIPS partners, and Transportation Research Board committees to identify traffic safety priorities for rural communities and Tribal Nations in the Northern Plains so institutional capacity can be strengthened to ensure safe journeys on local and tribal roads based on proactive traffic safety planning, programs, policies, and resource decisions.

Objective 1: Engage with local and tribal communities to strengthen traffic safety information. Supporting road inventory/maintenance, crash documentation, education, enforcement, and post-crash EMS response as essential foundation knowledge. Identify purposeful action to ensure continuity of agency commitment and community recognition of traffic safety as a priority through program documentation and succession strategies.

Objective 2: Support the FHWA Safe System approach. Community wellness and shared responsibility in safe journeys for members and guests are achieved through this holistic approach.

Objective 3: Recognize, recommend ways, and produce practitioner resources to redress the well-documented needs of highly rural and persistent poverty communities for resources to access, community connectivity, and capacity building to proactively promote and sustain safe journeys on local and tribal roads.
