5. Number of Nonmotorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries.

MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) 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 broader initiative to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries across Pasco County. The MPO is considering specific targets for 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 has previously adopted a Vision Zero initiative and is committed to a safe system approach. This planning stage means that projects aimed at meeting these safety targets are being identified and prioritized for future funding. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, traffic control systems, signage, and landscaping may find opportunities as these safety improvements are developed. Engaging with the MPO and FDOT early in this planning process can provide valuable insight into upcoming projects before formal bids and permits are issued.
