The Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the first MPO in the state to adopt a regional Vision Zero safety plan. Recognizing that traffic deaths and severe injuries are unacceptable and preventable, the BGMPO Technical Coordinating Committee and Transportation Advisory Committee wanted to develop a data-driven safe systems approach to reversing the region’s rising crash trends. The study was fully funded with a NCDOT Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant.
