Established in
September 2005, the Regional Safety Task Force brings together a
multi-disciplinary group of professionals to identify safety goals,
strategies and resources. A primary goal of the Task Force is to build
and maintain effective partnerships with the purpose of reducing the
number of crashes and eliminating serious injuries and fatalities from crashes in the region. DVRPC's
intent was to develop a forum for safety initiatives/programs with
significant input from non-traditional partners as well as our
traditional planning partners. The focus of the Task Force is diverse,
multidisciplinary (engineering, education, enforcement, emergency
services, legislation and funding) and multimodal (automobile, truck,
transit, bicycle, foot and train). The Task Force plays a significant
role in the development of the Regional Safety Action Plan.
