Over 377 people die in crashes on the roads of the nine-county Delaware Valley in an average year. Approximately 45,000 people are injured in approximately 85,000 crashes. The 2012 Transportation Safety Action Plan defines key safety emphasis areas, a range of strategies for each of the seven key emphasis areas, and specific actions to reduce the number of fatalities. The 2012 Transportation Safety Action Plan was developed with guidance from the multidisciplinary Regional Safety Task Force (RSTF). The table of recommended strategies and how to accomplish them is an agreed-upon starting point for how partners will work together to improve transportation safety in the region. Each meeting of the RSTF includes refining a set of actions and reporting back on progress. The 2012 Transportation Safety Action Plan supersedes the 2007 and 2009 editions and will be updated. Analysis of crash data for the region is provided in Analysis of Crashes in the Delaware Valley, 2008-2010 (DVRPC Publication 11059).Geographic Area Covered: The nine-county Greater Philadelphia area which covers the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer in New Jersey
