The Kansas City Region

Population Source: U.S. Census and MARC

Road Network Characteristics Over 7,900 miles of public streets Rank: 5 th per capita

Travel Mode Source: MARC 2004 Regional Household Travel Survey

Congestion Levels Percent of Travel in Congested Conditions Source: Texas Transportation Institute

MARC’s Role as MPO

Policy Framework Regional Goal Create a region where the quality of life rises for everyone

Policy Framework Transportation Goals Support a healthy, strong, regional economy Maximize access to opportunity for all area residents Support a quality built and natural environment Promote the safety and well being of the traveling public

Data Needs Demographics/community characteristics Transportation system characteristics Transportation system performance

Crash Data One type of system performance data Why planners need the data? “Untraditional” planning data No matter the data – do something

Crash Data

Tier 1 National & State Data Sources National Highway Traffic Safety Administration FARS Web-based Encyclopedia State DOTs Advantages Provides direction/priorities Large amount of information & topics Challenges Not specific to region

National & State Data

Things to Do Host a Planning It Safe Forum Initiate conversation with safety partners Support national campaigns locally Host Safe Routes to School Workshop Co-sponsor Midwest Bike/Ped Conference Host Safety Conscious Planning Course

Tier 2 Regional & County Data Sources State DOTs You! Advantages Paints regional picture of transportation safety Challenges Combining states’ data No adopted national standard

Regional & County Data Metropolitan Kansas City Motor Vehicle Crashes Number of Crashes

Regional & County Data Pedestrian Crashes Percentage of All Motor Vehicle Crashes

Regional & County Data Things to Do Continue to engage safety partners Begin analysis – white papers Establish baselines and examine trends Conduct regional initiative Make the data personal Develop legislative platform Develop measurable goals

Tier 3 Location-Specific Data Sources State DOTs Local jurisdictions Advantages Allows corridor analysis Specific examples or case studies Challenges “Geocoding” Accuracy of location information

Location-Specific Data

Things to Do Calculate crash rates Forecasting safety? Examine by area type Use with other types of data Keep engaging safety partners Target enforcement activities Target education activities Engineering audits

Crash DataMARC’s Program MARC’s Three-Tier Approach
