Due to the increase in fatalities and serious injury crashes across the State and the Dallas-Fort Worth region, NCTCOG has been working with the Texas Department of Transportaion and other Metropolitan Planning Organizations within Texas on a Statewide Safety Task Force. The focus is to identify strategies to reduce crashes on the transportation system. As part of this effort, the Regional Transportaion Council recently approved a safety funding program, and staff will provide an overview of the engineering, enforcement and educational projects being developed through the program.
