CAMPO is developing a Regional Safety Action Plan (RSAP) to enhance traffic safety across its six-county region. The plan aims to reduce fatal and serious-injury crashes while improving transportation systems for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation users, and drivers, with an emphasis on equitable investment in historically underserved communities.
This comprehensive and data-driven effort will address the broader regional safety needs and provide access to additional funding resources. It will also include county-specific plans for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, and Williamson counties. *Travis County is creating its own safety action plan in coordination with the CAMPO regional plan. Each plan will be integrated into the overarching RSAP, ensuring a coordinated approach to safety across the region.
The RSAP will focus on several key areas:
- Revising road designs
- Recommending policy changes
- Improving traffic enforcement
- Enhancing educational programs and supporting the development of road safety culture in the region Infrastructure improvements to address equitable investment in historically underserved communities
Public input is a key part of the plan’s development. Engagement and comment opportunities will be available at various stages, including three formal public comment periods.
The first comment period ended on November 27, 2024. The first phase focused on collecting valuable data and input about community needs and priorities. The participation helped us identify key issues and set priorities that will guide the development of the plan.
After this initial phase, feedback collected will be used to identify projects and policies that meet the goals and objectives and reflect the community’s needs. A second public comment period at the beginning of 2025 will gather additional input. The final RSAP, reflecting the input received throughout the process, will be presented in the summer 2025.
