Equity: In January 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation released the Equity Action Plan to institutionalizing equity across policies and programs, with the aim of reducing inequities across our transportation systems and the communities they affect. With this IL SHSP, Illinois will focus on understanding systemic disparities and inequities that exist within road safety and commits to creating a safer, more equitable transportation system. We will invest where the needs are the greatest and will engage communities to ensure programs and treatments are equitable and fit the context because all people have the right to move about their communities safely.

Data Advancement: A first step to achieving the zero-fatality vision is to compile and analyze safety data to understand system needs and align the appropriate projects and programs. Quantitative data used for safety analysis includes traffic, crash, and roadway characteristics. Data quality, timeliness and seamless linkages to other datasets is the backbone of a data-driven process that prioritizes investments and maximizes the return on the investment. Analysis may be improved with the addition of data such as census, land use, multimodal crowdsourced data and survey performance data. Illinois continues to improve data and assessment processes to address the needs of all users.
