Florence residents have the opportunity to shape road safety policy in the state as the Arizona Department of Transportation presents its revised road safety plan at a special virtual meeting on Thursday.
The virtual meeting will be held via Zoom starting at 6 p.m. To watch the meeting, you must register at https://bit.ly/ADOTSafetyMeeting.
"The Arizona Department of Transportation is preparing a Strategic Highway Safety Plan to provide a framework for reducing fatalities and serious injuries on all public roadways," according to ADOT. "The plan is a data-driven, multi-year safety plan that establishes a statewide vision and goal and identifies strategies for improving safety."
ADOT stated that pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities are "increasing at a higher rate than motor vehicle crash fatalities." As a result it is concurrently developing the state's first Active Transportation Safety Action Plan "which will recommend location-specific projects to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists on the state’s highway system."
If you can't make the meeting, you can still provide feedback on the plan through Friday, May 17 by:
