Cross Jurisdictional Safety Planning
Transportation safety planning is more comprehensive and effective when a multi-disciplinary, cross jurisdictional approach is used. Road and planning agencies that adopt this approach employ the 4Es (education, engineering, enforcement, and EMS) and involve all levels of government (local, regional, state, tribal). Generally, drivers are unaware of jurisdictional boundaries, and are just concerned that they have safe roads and efficient travel conditions across their entire route. However, in rural areas, travel routes often cross multiple jurisdictions, so coordinated planning can produce numerous benefits for both agencies and travelers, and enhance public perception of road facilities and operations.
This section provides resources and examples of cross jurisdictional safety planning.
