North Florida TPO Regional Strategic Safety Plan
Summary Report
Executive Summary Investments in safety improvements will save lives, time and money. Traffic crashes unnecessarily claim the lives of the residents of North Florida each year. More people die from traffic crashes each year than homicides. From 2005-2010 there were 1,288 fatalities from crashes versus 715 murders in the four-county metropolitan area. During that same time an additional 81,404 persons were injured in vehicle crashes. Based on data provided by the Texas Transportation Institute, crashes cause 53 percent of all delays or 13 hours per resident each year in our region in lost economic productivity. The economic costs of all traffic crashes exceeded $5 billion annually in medical costs, lost productivity, travel delays, workplace costs, insurance costs, and legal costs. These economic losses are approximately 8 percent of the $60.3 billion gross domestic product of the metropolitan statistical area. These losses in lives and economic productivity negatively contribute to the region’s economic competitiveness and quality of life. This Strategic Safety Plan identifies priority locations (corridors and intersections) that were determined to be of the most significant concern for the safety of the drivers and vulnerable road users (bicyclists and pedestrians). These locations were identified based on the severity of the crashes using the economic cost of the crashes and the total frequency of crashes. The top 20 crash locations for several contributing causes were identified including: careless and aggressive driving, intersection crashes, lane departure crashes and impaired driving. The crash histories were also analyzed based on age for young drivers (15-20 years old) and mature drivers (65 years and older). The 20-highest ranked locations based on the severity of crashes included segments of, and intersections with, Blanding Boulevard (SR 21), 103rd Street/Timuquana Road (SR 134), I-295, Ricker Road, Harlow Boulevard, Firestone Road, Old Middleburg Road, Morse Avenue, Rampart Road, Normandy Boulevard (SR 228), Collins Road, Doctors Inlet (CR 220) and Russell Road (CR 209). When the total frequency of crashes was considered (without weighting for the severity of crashes), the following additional priority corridors and intersections were identified: US 90/SR 212 Beach Boulevard, SR 10 Atlantic Boulevard, SR 115 Southside Boulevard, JTB (SR 202) and University Boulevard (SR 109). Contributing factors that account for the heavy weighting of corridors in west Duval and northern Clay County are result of congestion levels, a high frequency of careless and aggressive driving, and the age of the roadways which were constructed with different engineering standards and access management criteria that exist today. Other potential contributing factors identified as part of this study where insufficient data was available to determine if they were statistically significant included an older vehicle fleet and the lower use of seatbelts which contributes to increased severity of crashes. Construction projects are currently planned on many of the highest ranked priority corridors and intersections support selecting these projects for early funding. Many of these projects include reconstruction, widening, resurfacing, signalization and access management improvements. Additional consideration of the need for safety improvements should be considered as part of these projects. The following goals were established to address safety in the planning process of the North Florida TPO 5 percent reduction in fatal and injury crashes 5 percent reduction in the crash rate Advance safety funding for projects on priority corridors and intersections
Specific strategies and tactics were identified to support these goals including education, enforcement, engineering and emergency management. For example, several of the priority intersections identified are candidates for red-light cameras by the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office. Additional benefits evaluations (before and after studies) of these programs are needed to consider the effectiveness of the strategies and to monitor progress toward achieving these goals. Increased emphasis on safety as part of the planning and selection of projects is needed. Specifically, many safety improvements can be implemented with relatively lower costs and provide high benefit cost ratios. However, funding for these projects can take many years under the traditional planning process. Developing a flexible, reliable funding source so projects can be programmed on annual basis is recommended.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background Traffic crashes unnecessarily claim the lives of North Florida residents each year. More people die from traffic crashes each year than homicides. From 2005-2010 there were 1,288 fatalities resulted from crashes versus 715 murders in the four-county metropolitan area. During that same time an additional 81,404 persons were injured in vehicle crashes. Based on data provided by the Texas Transportation Institute, crashes cause 53 percent of all delays or 13 hours per resident each year in our region in lost economic productivity. The economic costs of all traffic crashes exceeded $5 billion annually in medical costs, lost productivity, travel delays, workplace costs, insurance costs, and legal costs. These economic losses are approximately 8 percent of the $60.3 billion gross domestic product of the metropolitan statistical area. These losses in lives and economic productivity negatively contribute to the region’s economic competitiveness and quality of life.
1.2 Purpose This project is to develop a regional safety plan for the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) planning boundaries. The regional safety plan aligns strategies, objectives and prioritizes safety investments within the region to ensure resources are dedicated to reducing fatalities and injuries within the North Florida metropolitan area.
1.3 Study Area The North Florida TPO planning boundary incorporates Duval, St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties. The crash data analysis was performed for the entire North Florida region. Figure 1 shows the North Florida TPO regional boundary map.

3. Crash Analysis Summary As part of developing the regional safety plan, a Data Collection and Analysis Report was prepared for the North Florida TPO. The Data Collection and Analysis Report presents a detailed summary of the crash data. It also identifies regional safety issues and locates priority corridors and intersections with safety problems. The crash data was obtained from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Safety Office. The crash data provided was for six years from 2005 to 2010 and includes the Florida State Highway System (SHS) and local roadways. This Summary Report summarizes the analysis and findings from the Data Collection and Analysis Report, provides a list of priority corridors and intersections for safety funding and recommends a strategic plan for implementation by the North Florida TPO. A total of 110,497 crashes occurred in the last six years (2005-2010). Of these crashes: 71,668 crashes occurred on the State Highway System 38,829 crashes occurred on the local roadways
These crashes involved: 1,173 fatal crashes 52,915 injury crashes 56,409 property damage only (PDO) crashes
The economic cost of these crashes was estimated to be $20 billion or an average of $3.33 billion per year. Approximately $13.7 billion (or 68.5%) of the costs occurred on the State Highway System and $6.3 billion (or 31.5%) occurred on the local roadways.1
Table 2 provides a summary of the results from the crash data analysis. The average crash rate on highways in the North Florida TPO planning area is less than the Florida statewide average. The total number of crashes, economic value of the crashes and the crash rates (crashes per million vehicle miles traveled) declined for the last six years from 1.26 in 2005 to 1.10 in 2010. However, safety continues to be a significant issue within North Florida based on the number of lives lost, number of injuries and the social costs of crashes.

Source: HNTB 1 The total economic cost of these crashes was estimated based on the crash severity type - such as property damage only (PDO), injury, and fatality. The individual costs of each crash severity type according to the FDOT’s Roadside Safety Analysis program are shown below:
1. Fatal crash cost: $6,380,000 2. Injury crash cost (average of all injury types): $229,777 3. PDO crash cost: $6,500

Summary Report 9
4. Contributing Factors The significant contributing factors of crashes were identified and are summarized in Table 3. Lane departure crashes were the common (44%) followed by the intersection crashes (43%) and aggressive driving behavior (22%). Table 3: Significant Contributing Factors for Crashes
Issues % of total Aggressive driving behavior 22% Intersection crashes 43% Vulnerable road users 3% Lane departure crashes 44% Impaired driving crashes 9%
The sum of the percentages exceeds 100% because of the overlap in the contributing factors. For example, more than one contributing factor was reported, such as lane departure crash at an intersection. We also analyzed the crashes to determine if age was a separate significant contributing factor. About 13 percent of crashes involved younger drivers compared to 7 percent of the population and 6 percent of crashes involved mature drivers compared to 12 percent of the population. In addition to the seven contributing factors identified above, two more factors of regional significance were identified as listed in Table 4. The contributing factors identified in Table 4 are considered aggressive driving behavior for the purpose of this safety plan, but can be potentially listed as a separate category called “Distracted Driving”.

5. High Priority Corridors and Intersections Table 5 and Table 6 summarize the high priority corridors and intersections using a hot-spot crash severity analysis. Table 7 and Table 8 summarize the high priority corridors and intersections from the crash frequency analysis. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shows the location of these high priority corridors and intersections. The locations that are identified in Tables 5 thru 8 as being influenced by construction activity during the study time period are not shown in these figures and are eliminated from being considered as a crash hot-spot.

North Florida TPO Regional Strategic Safety Plan
Summary Report 18
6. Summary During the North Florida Regional Strategic Safety Plan process, stakeholders were engaged in identifying transportation safety priority corridors and intersection. This process was supported by a performance measures based approach using data provided by FDOT. Based on the data, recommendations were made regarding locations to consider as part of a list of priority safety corridors and intersections. Projects are included in the Transportation Improvement Program today that address many of the locations where safety issues were identified. As part of the continuing planning process, the North Florida TPO should update the safety plan to refine the list of priority corridors and intersections and to track progress toward achieving the goals, objectives, performance measures and benchmarks identified within this plan. This safety effort will require the North Florida TPO to champion the process to ensure that progress is measured, both in executing the strategy and measuring its impact on safety. We recommend safety be considered in preparing the annual List of Priority Projects. As safety implementation moves forward, refinement will occur and the process will improve. By staying focused on the goals we set in our Strategic Safety Plan, the residents of North Florida can save lives, time and money.
