About the Plan
Starting in late 2023, the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) developed a Safety Action Plan for Clark County. The plan was funded through a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant to help identify transportation focused safety needs and improvements across Clark County.
The plan takes a Safe System Approach, which acknowledges that deaths and serious injury crashes are unacceptable, humans are vulnerable and make mistakes, and that transportation networks must be proactive about providing multiple layers of protections for all users, whether they travel by foot, by car, by bike, via transit, or with the help of a mobility device.
