You are invited to support Northwest Missouri (NWMO) Safer Roads, a strategic initiative aimed at reducing fatalities and severe injuries across our five-county region. Your input, as well as that of others in your community, is valuable to our initiative.
The NWMO RCOG was awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop a Transportation Safety Action Plan for the region, which includes Atchison, Gentry, Holt, Nodaway, and Worth counties. Using crash data analysis and public input, NWMO Safer Roads will identify key factors contributing to fatal and serious‑injury crashes and advance actionable, measurable strategies to improve safety for all roadway users. More information is available at:
https://www.nwmorcog.org/nwmosaferroads
We would love for you to provide input on our Safer Roads Online Survey and Engagement Map, located on the project website. If you are not already, please follow us on Facebook and help by sharing any posts related to NWMO Safer Roads.
See the attached fact sheet and the project website for more information.
