MPO Guidebook for Using Safety as a Project Prioritization Factor
This Guidebook provides options for Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in use of safety as a project prioritization factor. The guidebook includes six types of approaches and details potential criteria, analysis methods, pros, cons, data, and resource needs, for implementing these approaches at basic, intermediate and advanced levels. The project included a literature review, interviews with MPOs, and definitions of recommended approaches. The research team reviewed Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTP) and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) for 52 MPOs identified as potentially employing good practices in project prioritization and consideration of safety. The research team conducted interviews with nine MPOs identified as having a well-defined project prioritization process that explicitly considers safety.
