PROGRAMS
Corridor Safety
The
goal of the Corridor Traffic Safety Program is to reduce collisions on
roadways using low-cost, near-term solutions through partnerships with
community groups, business, engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency
services organizations. The program is locally led and coordinated in
each community.
A corridor is selected based on two things:
- There is statistical evidence that a section or set of roadways has a significant crash problem.
- There is energy on the local level to undertake a corridor project.
Once selected, a task force is recruited. Invited to be part of that task force will be all law enforcement agencies, public works and state highways agencies, emergency response agencies, businesses, schools, civic organizations, citizen activists, appropriate federal agencies and interested political entities such as county commissioners or city officials. All agencies sit as equal members of the local corridor project task force.
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission is the lead agency in the Corridor Traffic Safety Program that is a joint effort between the Commission and the Washington State Department of Transportation. The Washington State Patrol is also a major partner in the program.
