Title
Safety Performance Targets (10 minutes)
Andy Henry, LPA Staff
Narrative
Per federal statute, MPOs must adopt targets for safety performance measures. MPOs may either adopt the targets developed by the state, or they may develop and adopt their own. Staff recommends adopting the NCDOT targets because the targets are challenging, and using the NCDOT targets allows the MPO to use the NCDOT methodology and data. These targets will also be incorporated into the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) when the MTP is next updated or amended. The MPO must adopt the safety performance targets by February 27, 2021.
The attached draft resolution includes NCDOT's safety performance measure targets, and the attached presentation provides further background and information.
Recommendation
TC Action: Recommended that the MPO Board adopt the resolution supporting the state's safety performance targets.
Board Action: Adopt the resolution supporting the state's safety performance targets.
