Regional Roadway Safety Assessment
As a result of continued federal and state emphasis on roadway safety, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) has collected and examined roadway crash data from the Miami Valley Region for the years 2002-2004. This data was obtained from the Ohio Departments of Transportation and Public Safety. Internal analyses by MVRPC staff have identified 31 intersections and 200 segments where the frequency and/or severity of crashes was above the regional average for the studied time period. Any location which registered a value greater than the regional average for crash frequency (crash density for segments) and crash rate was flagged as an initial high crash location and further prioritized using severity rate and/or frequency thresholds. Additional locations of concern where also identified by the 40 local government representatives that attended the Dayton Region Roadway Safety Workshop in April 2006. As a result of the Regional Roadway Safety Assessment, state and federal funding (not currently controlled by MVRPC) may become available for safety studies, low- to medium-cost safety improvements, and/or inclusion into MVRPC’s upcoming update of the Long Range Transportation Plan.

Dayton Region Roadway Safety Workshop
On April 18, 2006 , the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) teamed with the Ohio Departments of Transportation (ODOT) and Public Safety (ODPS) to conduct the Dayton Region Roadway Safety Workshop at the MVRPC Center for Regional Cooperation. Attended by over 40 local, regional, and state partners , the event was intended as a springboard toward increasing safety on our local and regional roadways.
After a series of presentations by state and regional officials, two breakout group sessions where conducted for participants to convey specific locations that may have safety issues. Through a combination of locations identified in these breakout sessions, as well as analysis conducted by MVRPC, a preliminary list of intersections and segments will be compiled to identify particularly hazardous locations. This list together with MVRPC's Comprehensive Regional Safety Analysis will eventually become the framework for the Regional Roadway Safety Plan component of our Long Range Transportation Plan.
The presentations and conference materials can be accessed below.
