About

"Even one death on the transportation system is unacceptable. Staff will work with our partners to develop projects, programs, and policies that assist in eliminating serious injuries and fatalities across all modes of travel."

- Regional Safety Position, Regional Transportation Council (February 2019)


This Regional Bicycle Safety Plan was developed in response to the increasing number of bicyclist fatalities across the 12-county Metropolitan Planning Area and to align with the safety positions adopted by the Regional Transportation Council and the Texas Transportation Commission to reduce serious injuries and fatalities on Texas roadways. It is intended to provide guidance for our regional partners as well as the development of more detailed local plans, in support of the aspirational goal to reduce the number of bicyclist fatalities to zero.

Recommendations are supported by detailed crash analysis and public input. The Plan identifies action items for: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Evaluation.
