Complete Streets Resources

Transportation professionals use a Complete Streets design model to integrate safety for all users into planning and analysis. By understanding how a street fits within the multimodal network, they can identify infrastructure needs to better serve the community. To address safety and connectivity concerns, professionals may:

  1. Engage with community members
  2. Analyze crash risk through data-driven safety methods
  3. Assess needs for safety infrastructure
  4. Monitor and measure outcomes.

New data and performance tracking help guide investments and evaluate success. This page offers tools and examples to support corridor and network-level safety-focused planning.
