| Program Overview: |
State and local transportation departments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are now required to consider safety as a key planning factor and performance measure in all transportation plans and programs. Transportation planners are encouraged to work collaboratively with safety planners and practitioners, engineers, data managers, and others through a comprehensive, multi-modal, systemwide, proactive approach called Safety Conscious Planning (SCP). SCP is designed to reduce, and ultimately prevent, the human, environmental, and economic consequences of surface-transportation-related crashes. This broadcast reviewed SCP goals and objectives, examined current case studies, and included an interactive question & answer session between the panel and national audience.
