What is a TSAP?
|
The Marion County Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) is a strategic safety plan that will guide the County’s investments in transportation safety and will ultimately save lives. The County is committed to improving safety and reducing the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes in Marion County. The Plan will identify goals and strategies necessary to create and maintain a transportation system that safely serves all transportation users in the County; the Plan will be focused on roadways and County-owned roadways within small cities. The TSAP will also identify projects that are eligible for various State and Federal safety funding programs.
