Project Overview

The City of Cupertino's Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies traffic safety improvements throughout the City for all modes of transportation and for all ages and abilities for the purpose of reducing fatal and severe injury collisions. The LRSP was achieved through a decision-making process that relied on the evaluation of a comprehensive collision database, partnership with stakeholders, public outreach and using the four "E's of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Medical Services.

The development of the LRSP was funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and is a requirement for City of Cupertino to be eligible to receive federal funding for local roadway safety improvement projects in the future.

The LRSP identified safety patterns throughout the City, developed a toolbox of countermeasure to address them, and proposed projects to improve safety at key locations. The plan used data-driven collision analysis of local roadways to identify transportation safety improvement needs, including pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular safety improvements. Input from stakeholders and the community played a key role in the development of the LRSP.
