Broward MPO’s Broward Safety Action Plan Public Workshops
February 10 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Broward County will host a second round of Broward Safety Action Plan (BSAP) public workshops during the month of February. These workshops will provide residents with an opportunity to review conceptual designs and offer feedback on critical safety measures for some of the county’s most dangerous streets.
The BSAP initiative emphasizes collaboration between community members, local leaders, and transportation experts. By participating in these workshops, residents can directly influence the development of safer streets for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, drivers, and transit riders.
Broward County continues to face significant challenges with traffic safety. The county’s fatality rate stands at 14.8 per 100,000 people which is more than five times higher than New York City and twice as deadly as Chicago. The BSAP addresses these challenges by focusing on targeted analysis and solutions to improve safety on priority corridors across Broward County.
The February workshops are designed to educate and engage the public through materials such as corridor concept designs, safety countermeasures, and equity and safety analyses. Each session will include a brief presentation, an open house for feedback, and opportunities to engage directly with the BSAP team. Attendees will also have the chance to sign a safety pledge, explore an interactive map, and receive complimentary safety items, such as bike lights, bracelets or bags.
