Mobility Oriented Safety Planning and Design

TGC brings significant experience in completing mobility related safety analysis both to evaluate previously identified projects and to identify safety-oriented needs within a given study area. Since 2018, TGC has leveraged significant discretionary funding for safety improvements through programs such as HSIP, CRISI, and others. Our approach for this process includes:

• Evaluation of crash data to identify areas which have a high incidence of crash frequency and severity

• Completion of community engagement to identify areas of concern and to assist in overall project prioritization

• Parsing crash data via applicable countermeasure codes to assist in the development of improvements

• Validation of proposed improvements via preliminary engineering analysis and the identification of schematic documents and cost estimates

• Benefit cost analysis based upon the proposed countermeasures, their cost, and the estimated reduction in future crash incidence

• Pursuit of discretionary funding to implement improvements through a variety of programs, to include the Highway Safety Improvement Program and the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement (CRISI) program

As a firm, we are extremely proud of our work in this area – creating real life safety improvements for the communities we are a part of.
