In May 2021, the Arlington County Board adopted a strong, interdisciplinary, data-driven Action Plan that prioritizes improving processes to place street safety at the center of all processes that affect the street.  Rather than a punch list of actions, the plan commits staff to continuously analyzing recent crashes & working to solve the underlying causes of those crashes wherever they may occur in the County.  It provides a framework and path forward for important underlying improvements in crash data collection & analysis and provides a home base for capital programs & quick build tactical programs focused on safety.
