D. Safety Planning

MPO Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Meeting · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

The Pasco County MPO is planning safety initiatives to address rising transportation fatalities. These efforts will involve reviewing crash data, identifying trends, and conducting field safety audits in high-crash areas. The MPO will also coordinate with the Florida Highway Patrol to understand safety trends and participate in ride-alongs. Additionally, they plan to co-host a safe streets summit, attend safety trainings, and participate in various safety committees. The project includes developing plans that highlight the benefits of a multimodal transportation system and advancing the analysis of micromobility options like shared scooters and bicycles. This work is planned to take place between July 2026 and June 2028. Contractors specializing in data analysis, safety consulting, event planning, and potentially infrastructure planning for micromobility could find opportunities. Engaging early with the Pasco MPO could provide insight into upcoming needs before formal bidding processes begin.
