The County of Orange (County) Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) provides a strategic framework for identifying, evaluating and prioritizing roadway safety improvements within unincorporated Orange County. The LRSP is tailored to local conditions and concerns and reflects the diverse transportation needs of rural, suburban and urban communities.
The LRSP prioritizes safety issues, contributing risk factors, recommended countermeasures and actionable strategies to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on County-maintained roadways. Adoption of the LRSP does not approve specific projects or authorize construction activities; rather, it establishes a planning framework to guide future safety investments.
The LRSP serves as a critical tool for securing state and federal transportation safety funding. The LRSP was developed in compliance with the Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) initiative and aligns with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Zero Traffic Fatalities Task Force goals. The LRSP fulfills the requirements of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, positioning the County to pursue additional federal funds to implement high-impact safety improvements in the communities that need them most.
On Tuesday April 28th OC Public Works Item 6 - Adopt resolution adopting County of Orange Local Road Safety Plan; and authorize Director or designee to make amendments under certain conditions – was unanimously approved by the OC Board of Supervisors.
