Between February and March 2026, more than 2,000 residents, workers, students, and travelers across the region contributed to the engagement process of the safety plan update through a public safety perception survey that received 1,073 completed responses, direct conversations at more than 30 community events, and an analysis of candid public discussion from regional online forums.

What we heard was consistent and clear: speeding, distracted driving, and gaps in pedestrian infrastructure are felt across every corner of the region, and residents broadly understand that road design itself shapes whether streets are safe or dangerous.

The final plan will establish a shared regional framework for reducing serious crashes and fatalities, with specific actions, lead responsibilities, and a timeline for implementation. Sign up below to receive updates as the plan moves toward adoption.

The full engagement record is now available for review organized across three documents:

• The Public Engagement Report synthesizes what the region told us, organized by theme and locality
• The Full Survey Results provide complete tabulations of all survey responses
• The Open-Ended Comments document the community's words directly
