Benton County Transportation Safety Action Plan – make your voice heard

The Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) aims to improve road safety for everyone in the County. The goal is to make our roads safer by addressing traffic risks, especially for people walking, rolling, biking and driving.

The TSAP will cover all Benton County roadways, including those in urban areas. Safety recommendations will also support local goals in cities within County boundaries.

Make your voice heard

The online open house for the TSAP runs until November 25. Participants will see how crash data and community feedback from the spring helped shape a set of potential strategies to reduce serious and fatal crashes. There is also a chance to share feedback on the recommended proposed solutions.
