About Roadway All-User Crash Elimination Plan (RACE)
The GBNRTC has developed and adopted, via Resolution 2022-25 (6/23/25), the Roadway All-User Crash Elimination Plan (RACE) to guide how the MPO region (Erie and Niagara Counties) will work to eliminate roadway fatalities and reduce serious injuries 50% for all road users including people who drive, walk, bike, or ride transit.
Follows the Safe System Approach, a national paradigm for eliminating roadway fatalities by addressing human error and vulnerability through multiple layers of protection.
Focuses on five key areas: safer people, safer roads, safer vehicles, safer speeds, and post-crash care.
Accounts for both human mistakes and the human body’s vulnerability in collisions by both preventing crashes and reducing harm when it may occur.
Affirms commitment to create a safer roadway system for all users in Erie and Niagara Counties.
Sets an ambitious goal for the two counties to eliminate fatal and reduce serious injury crashes by using the Safe System Approach, strategies, and actions outlined in this plan.
Establishes strategies and actions the counties will employ to reduce fatal and serious injuries.
Enables municipalities in Erie and Niagara Counties to apply for safety implementation grants.
Identifies priority locations for safety improvements that could be funded by the SS4A program and other funding opportunities for safety improvements.
Provides toolbox of countermeasures to improve safety as outlined in chapter 7 that municipalities could employ to reduce crashes and serious injuries along their streets and roads.
Provides the public and stakeholders with information regarding the strategies and actions that GBNRTC member jurisdictions, commit to in order to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes.
Demonstrates safety treatments for representative locations from the priority list to illustrate to local municipalities how countermeasures could be employed to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in similar cases.
Enables continued coordination and progress through Implementation Annual Program Report and Safety Dashboard.
