This meeting will allow the public to learn more about efforts to eliminate fatalities and serious injury crashes on Cape Cod’s roadways and provide an overview of the components of a Safety Action Plan. Cape Cod’s existing safety statistics, including the number of crashes in recent years, will be shared. Attendees will have an opportunity to provide comments during the meeting. Comments can also be shared using the public comment tool posted on the project website.
At the conclusion of the project, the Cape Cod Vision Zero Action Plan, will provide a pathway to a safer future, allow for a systematic crash analysis and set of solutions to tackle the root causes of all crashes, emphasizing those involving bicyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorists.
The Action Plan will consider a range of low-cost, high-impact regional strategies such as bike light distribution, updated pedestrian signal equipment, and major infrastructure improvements at key locations. Completing the Action Plan will make all fifteen Cape Cod towns eligible for future Federal Highway Implementation Grants to leverage federal funding to implement strategies.
