Regional Safety Action Plan

Transportation safety is an increasing threat to those who use Spokane County roads, with fatal and serious injury rates increasingly trending in the wrong direction each year. The SRTC Board of Directors has noted this and highlighted safety as a top priority for our region.

The growing need for and focus on transportation safety efforts has manifested into the work of the Regional Safety Action Plan (RSAP). In February 2023, SRTC received a $400,000 grant from the United States Department of Transportation, the Safe Street and Roads for All program, which provides the necessary resources to develop the RSAP.

The SRTC RSAP will:

• Evaluate data trends and use predictive analyses to help prevent future fatal and serious injury crashes.
• Identify innovative, proactive, strategies and projects that address the key safety problems faced in the region.
• Position the region for future safety funding to implement the RSAP’s recommendations.
