5. Number of Nonmotorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries.

MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) Meeting · 2026-05-06 · agenda_item

The Pasco MPO is reviewing its safety performance targets for calendar year 2026. These targets are part of a larger initiative to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries across the county. The MPO has established specific targets for the MPO planning area, aiming for reductions in fatalities, serious injuries, and non-motorized incidents. This review process involves analyzing local conditions, crash data, and growth trends to set achievable goals. The MPO's commitment to safety is reflected in its inclusion of safety projects in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), with a significant amount allocated for projects like sidewalks, multiuse paths, traffic control devices, and intersection improvements. This ongoing focus on safety planning and programming presents opportunities for contractors and suppliers involved in road construction, traffic control, and related infrastructure development. Early engagement with the MPO and FDOT can provide insights into upcoming projects and potential needs before formal bidding processes begin.
