Welcome

Welcome to the Regional Safety Action Plan (RSAP) Engagement Hub. We’re glad you’re here!

PSRC is taking action to improve roadway safety. Let’s do it together!

Together, we can establish a regional culture of safety and advance solutions to achieve a thriving, equitable, and sustainable central Puget Sound.

As the region continues to grow from just over 4.4 million today to a projected 5.8 million by 2050, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and partners are focused on addressing transportation safety and improving the way people get around.

PSRC is collaborating with local communities to create a Regional Safety Action Plan (RSAP). The plan will include coordinated strategies and solutions grounded in comprehensive data analysis, deep public engagement, and effective use of available funding sources. Adoption of the final plan is expected in May 2025.

Why a Regional Safety Action Plan?

We need a plan to:

  • Establish and foster a regional culture of safety with a focus on protecting vulnerable roadway users and communities.
  • Improve transportation safety through research, analysis, and public engagement, emphasizing a Safe System Approach (pdf).
  • Identify safety issues and proven strategies to address dangerous conditions.
  • Focus funding on effective traffic safety solutions.
  • Support the development of local safety action plans.
  • Inform PSRC’s competitive project selection processes and future regional transportation plans.

Why now?

  • Roadway deaths and serious injuries continue to rise. Traffic-related deaths in the central Puget Sound region have nearly doubled since 2010, reaching nearly one death every day.
  • Some communities are suffering more. Native American community members are more likely to die in traffic crashes than white residents. The same is true for residents in rural areas.
  • People throughout the region are working on solutions. Cities and towns are identifying ways to reverse these unacceptable trends, using what’s called a Safe System Approach.

What’s happening now?

This fall, we engaged with the community through an online questionnaire, informational interviews, and four public meetings. With your valuable feedback in mind, our team is now developing a draft Regional Safety Action Plan. This draft plan will be available for public comment early next year.
