The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century of 1998 required explicit consideration of safety in the transportation planning process. Although this government mandate is well intentioned, little is known about how to accomplish it. Despite 60 years of modern road building, there is still no consensus among transportation professionals about how to quantify the degree of safety or lack of safety of an existing transportation facility. It is even more difficult to anticipate the level of safety on highways not yet built. A methodology for the explicit consideration of safety in the transportation planning process is presented, followed by a review of two case histories illustrating its application. |
