2010 County Safety Program: Selected Projects

In 2010, all 39 counties in Washington State received an invitation to apply for projects funded through the County Safety Program. The goal of the program is to reduce run-off-road and intersection-related fatal and serious injury collisions on county roads. All 39 counties applied for and received funds. This has resulted in the 94 projects shown below. The program distributes Highway Safety Improvement Program funds from Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21 (pdf 1.4 mb). MAP-21 is the federal legislation for highway and transit programs.

Projects total just over $45 million and range in cost from $6,500 to $2.7 million. Construction is in progress on many of the projects and most projects will be completed by fall 2014.

Please contact the Technical Services Manager for more information.
