We helped our clients obtain $3.87 million in the first half of 2021 and that number will be almost $10 million by the end of September.
We completed 14 safety studies in 2020-2021.
Safety Studies
We perform safety studies to assist communities in the identification of locations for safety improvement, evaluation of probable causes and solutions, and the funding to construct safety improvement countermeasures for all modes of roadway users.
Environmental Design Group’s transportation team assists communities in improving the safety of their roadway system through the identification, evaluation, and determination of probable causes of high crash locations. We then perform full or modified safety studies to fully assess the high crash location(s) and investigate predicted outcomes of safety improvement countermeasures. With this information, we assist the communities in selecting countermeasures for construction and applying for ODOT Highway Safety Improvement Program funds. Finally, we represent the community in presentations to ODOT District and Central Office Safety Committees in pursuit of safety improvement funding for the studied locations.
