Project Description

In 2024, the county got a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) planning grant from Metro and the U.S. Department of Transportation. This grant allows the county to work with other groups and the community to improve road safety. There will be chances for the community to give input through surveys and events. The planning team will use crash data to study safety and equity, which will help decide on projects to recommend. The final plan will list safety projects and data analysis that could get funding- all shaped by the community.

Focus on High Injury Corridors

The project will look at local and county roads in East Multnomah County, outside the City of Portland. It will focus on high injury corridors (HICs), which are roads where the most serious crashes happen. Knowing where these crashes are concentrated helps in planning and prioritizing safety efforts to meet safety goals.
