9. What does the data tell us about our county?
For every 1 fatal crash, there are 8 incapacitating injury crashes. Altogether ~1500 /year.
75% of fatal crashes occur on roads with posted speeds 40 mph +, whether they involve pedestrians, cyclists, or are strictly vehicular.
75% of fatal & incapacitating injury crashes occur on only one-third of our roads.
33% of fatal crashes involve aggressive driving. (It’s 42% of fatal vehicular crashes.)
24% of fatal crashes involve lack of lighting. (It’s 39% of fatal pedestrian crashes.)
23% of fatal crashes involve intoxication.
Pedestrian crashes that include injuries are more severe: one-third result in death or incapacitation. We average more than one pedestrian injury crash every day.
In the US, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people <35 yrs.

13. Action Plan Development – Future Not Like The Past
Goal 1: Update policies, standards and procedures to foster a culture of safety in the planning and design of the transportation system
SPECIFIC ACTIONS
Enhance requirements in local land development codes and technical manuals related to safety and connected design
Revisit and update Maintenance of Traffic policies related to walking and cycling mobility
Provide professional training opportunities for safe, context supportive & flexible road design
Institute context classifications & target speeds within identified Vision Zero corridors
Goal 2: Create a safe multimodal transportation through good design, lighting, and connected facilities
Install LED lighting in corridors with high crash occurrences under dark or unlit conditions
Improve safe access to high activity bus stops with high severe crashes
Construct new bikeways in locations with high severe bicycle crashes and no bikeways
Construct new walkways in locations with high severe bicycle crashes and no walkways

14. Action Plan Development – Paint Saves Lives
Goal 1: Use high-visibility markings on the transportation network to raise driver awareness of walking and cycling travel zones
SPECIFIC ACTIONS
Install crosswalk markings where missing or in poor condition
Install intersection murals at high-crash intersections near schools
Install green bike lane markings along high-crash corridors in communities of concern
Goal 2: Implement low-cost treatments to improve the safety of the roadway particularly for vulnerable users
Integrate roadway safety into resurfacing or reconstruction projects (bikeways)
Engage interested community groups to hold events around pop-up traffic calming
Add leading pedestrian intervals to signalized intersections
Narrow vehicular travel lanes in high severe crash corridors, and/or reduce the number of vehicular travel lanes, if supported by traffic volumes consistent with FDOT’s Complete Streets policy

15. Action Plan Development – Consistent & Fair
Goal 1: Leverage the capabilities & existing resources of the CTST as a community law enforcement partnership
SPECIFIC ACTIONS
Engage CTST in Vision Zero initiative
Develop & implement media plan to announce CTST/VZ initiative and publicize enforcement activities

Develop a signing strategy to identify VZ Corridors
Announce designation of VZ Corridors
Conduct targeted enforcement details
