Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council seeks input on street safety

The Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council is hosting an online open house this month to hear from Clark County residents about improving street safety.

The open house is a part of the council’s Safe Streets and Roads for All Clark County Safety Action Plan.

Using data analysis and community input, the plan will help the council identify transportation-focused safety needs and improvements across Clark County. It will then use that information to apply for grant funding to improve safety where it is most needed, according to a news release.

The virtual open house is available through Saturday and can be found at www.rtc.wa.gov/studies/sap/.

Interested community members can fill out a survey on the virtual open house webpage or identify locations where safety improvements are needed within the virtual open house comment map.

Once the project team identifies safety strategies, a second virtual open house this summer will allow community members to provide input on those strategies.
