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.
