Local Adoption of Safety Conscious Planning through Technology Transfer

The Safety Conscious Planning (SCP) model, a comprehensive safety system, had been selected as the statewide network to adopt in New Jersey because it promoted the reduction of crashes that affect the security and congestion of the entire New Jersey transportation infrastructure. The intended benefit of this implementation effort was realized when funding opportunities, resources, and technical support were able to reach county and local municipalities, where over 60% of the roadway fatalities occur annually. Another gain had been the collective empowerment of a partnership being applied to resolving regional safety issues. Also, SCP facilitated the involvement of local elected officials, working together with safety professionals, to organize local safety networks within their own communities.
