An LRSP is a plan that “provides a framework for organizing stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local and rural roads. The process of developing an LRSP can be tailored to local protocols, needs, and issues.” -Caltrans Agencies applying for HSIP, SS4A, and other federal funding must have an LRSP or equivalent. WHAT IS A LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN? LRSPs: Systematically identify and analyze safety problems Recommend safety improvements Develop local agency partnerships and collaboration Create a prioritized list of improvements and actions that can demonstrate a defined need and time range for deployment MARIN LRSP TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE California Highway Patrol Central Marin Police Marin County Department of Public Works Marin County Bicycle Coalition MarinHealth City of Novato Town of San Anselmo City of San Rafael City of Sausalito Transportation Authority of Marin VISION ZERO Broad strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all users Recognizes traffic deaths as preventable Multidisciplinary, systemic approach from infrastructure to policy MARIN COUNTY LRSP VISION STATEMENT & GOALS Marin County and its incorporated cities and towns strive to eliminate collision-related fatalities and severe injuries by proactively and equitably pursuing a safe systems approach prioritizing road safety for all users. Goals: •Systematically implement proven safety solutions, initiatives, policies, and programs to eliminate preventable fatal & severe collisions by 2050. •Utilize a multi-faceted approach that spans jurisdictions and encompasses diverse strategies including engineering, education, public health, and enforcement. •Implement improvements that promote and support safe travel for vulnerable users including people walking and bicycling, children, older adults, and people with disabilities. •Ensure that multimodal safety investments are made in a manner that is fair and equitable for all Marin County residents.
