Safety
Of the plan goals, safety accounts for Table 12: Safety (35%)
35% of the total prioritization score and
is an important element of project
evaluation. Data available for safety
evaluation includes review of project
extents in the most up to date eCrash
data mapping. High crash rates along the
project corridor would score higher than
low crash rates, for example. Additional
safety scoring is based on whether the
project is an identified Evacuation Route,
in a Weather Sensitive area, or on a
Freight Corridor, as identified in the
samples of relevant maps in the Project
Development section of this report; data
and maps will be updated annually for
best results.
Mobility
Table 13: Mobility (25%)
Mobility impacts will consider criteria
including project’s organizational impact,
or the sphere of influence the project will
provide, whether that is statewide, a
regional or local-only impact. Congestion
and Freight Congestion mapping with
RITIS (AADT) data will be updated
annually to help identify if the project is
within a high-, medium-, or low-
congestion area, or freight-congestion
area. Designation as urban versus a rural
provides a small component of the
mobility assessment and can be
identified corridor map identifying urban
and rural routes.
