PRIORITIZING SPECIFIC PROJECTS Based on field observations and crash data analysis, both corridor- wide countermeasures and location-specific safety improvements were identified for each corridor. Countermeasures were selected primarily from FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures Initiative (PSCi), categorized into five key areas: • Speed Management • Pedestrian/Bicyclist Safety • Roadway Departure • Intersections • Crosscutting Measures Additional countermeasures beyond PSCi were recommended where they could provide meaningful safety benefits based on the corridor’s crash profile. Each proposed countermeasure includes a suggested implementation timeframe to support project execution. BENEFIT COST ANALYSIS A benefit-cost analysis (BCA) compares the total benefits of recommended improvements to their overall cost over a specified period. The benefit- cost ratio is calculated using a 20-year horizon by estimating the monetized value of crashes prevented . Future crashes are projected assuming a stable crash rate with traffic growth, while a crash modification factor (CMF) adjusts for expected reductions with safety improvements. Project costs include initial expenses (construction, survey, and engineering) and ongoing maintenance over 20 years. Cost estimates, based on City bid tab data, are presented in 2025 dollars .
