Title

 Proposed letter to Mr. Kanathur Srikanth, Deputy Executive Director, Metropolitan Planning, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, supporting a proposal under its Regional Safety Pilot Program to conduct Roadway Safety Audits on six County roadways.

 

Background

This letter supports application to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (“MWCOG”) Regional Safety Pilot Program. As a part of the County’s Vision Zero Prince George’s Initiative, DPW&T has developed a High Injury Network (“HIN”): The designation of corridors where high numbers of pedestrians and bicyclists have been killed or severely injured in traffic crashes. DPW&T is proposing to conduct a road safety audit for six roadway segments.

 

The Regional Safety Pilot Program provides short-term consultant services to member jurisdictions or agencies to assist with planning or preliminary engineering projects that address roadway safety issues.
