The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is developing the Regional Safety Action Plan to enhance roadway safety in Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties. CAMPO is holding its second online open house to collect feedback on roadway safety concerns and potential solutions. Online materials, commenting opportunities and a listing of in-person outreach events are available at campotexas. org/get-involved. The online open house will be available through March 14.
The Regional Safety Action Plan will identify solutions to enhance traffic safety and reduce, and eventually eliminate, fatal and serious-injury crashes while improving transportation systems for all users across the six-county region, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation users and drivers, with an emphasis on investment in vulnerable communities. This comprehensive and data- driven effort will address the broader regional safety needs and provide access to additional funding resources. It will also include county-specific plans for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays and Williamson counties. Each of these plans will be integrated into the overarching RSAP, ensuring a coordinated approach to safety across the region.
A separate safety action plan for Travis County is being developed and will be integrated into the RSAP, ensuring local insights and solutions are reflected in the regional strategy.
CAMPO is also currently collecting feedback to inform the development of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. The 2050 RTP is a multimodal, long-range transportation plan that will address transportation needs over the next 25 years for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties. This plan considers factors such as regional growth and anticipated funding to develop a regional network for the next several decades to include roads, transit, biking, walking and using technology to travel more efficiently.
Study information and commenting opportunities for both planning efforts are available at campotexas. org/get involved. Printed materials can be requested by calling 512651-3964. A postage-paid envelope will be included to return the survey by mail.
