Reduce Crashes:
Addressing the goals of Lake
County's Strategic Plan
Improving transporta on con nues to be a top goal
of the Lake County Board, and therefore the Lake
County Division of Transporta on (LCDOT) builds our
Five-Year Plan around the strategies and ac ons out-
lined in the Strategic Plan. The county board recognizes that
a good transporta on system is cri cal to suppor ng a high quality
of life and economic growth. Residents and motorists don't know
or care which jurisdic on is responsible for the road, they just want
to be able to get where they're going quickly and safely.
In this fi ve-year plan you will see that Lake County is inves ng
more than $500 million in transporta on between now and 2023,
which includes making roads safer, wider, and even smarter.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of the strategic plan and the
ac ons that have been iden fi ed under the goal “IMPROVE TRANS-
PORTATION”. The Lake County Board developed fi ve main strate-
gies to improve transporta on. This was done with careful analysis
of previous progress, studying data and current trends at the
regional and na onal levels, researching emerging technologies
and by gathering extensive input from the public.
Safety has always been
our top priority, and the
Strategic Plan outlines
working collaboratively
with state, regional and
local agencies, and county
residents to reduce the
number of fatal and serious
injury crashes on Lake County
nty roadways.
One way we are working to reduce
crashes is by producing
and communicating
coordinated safety cam-
paigns with our partner
agencies. Among these
programs are public safety announcements,
nouncements,
videos, newsletter articles, and
d DUI and
safety belt checkpoints. These eff orts help to
keep safety issues topmost
in Lake County drivers'
minds. Currently, the LCDOT
is partnering with the Lake
County Sheriff 's Offi ce on a
'100 Deadliest Days of Sum-
mer' campaign highlighting
safe driving behaviors.
