| Connecticut’s Safety Circuit Rider Program |

 Of the 21,000 miles of roadway in Connecticut, 82% are maintained by local municipal agencies. In 2014, 64% of roadway departure fatal crashes and 24% of roadway departure Type A (incapacitating) injury crashes occurred on local roadways. To make significant progress in reducing the number of crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities in Connecticut, the safety along local roadways needs to improve. • Coordination of Road Safety Assessments (RSA’s) • Collection and analysis of traffic volume data • Identification of low cost safety improvements • Assistance in the development of Local Road Safety Plans • Development of a Connecticut Toolbox of Safety Resources • Development of a series of Roadway Safety Briefs • Delivery of Local Road Safety Training A strong partnership between the CT SCR program and the Connecticut Transportation Safety Research Center (CTSRC) enables local agencies to access accurate information to make informed roadway safety decisions. The SCR provides assistance to local agencies in understanding the capabilities of the new CT Crash Data Repository |
