NEXT STEPS West Orange should adopt the Vision Zero Action Plan and continue its efforts in implementing the actions identified in the plan. Key components for success will be monitoring progress on a regular basis and ensuring a multi-disciplinary Vision Zero Task Force is formally adopted by the Township. The Vision Zero website should be regularly edited with crash data and status updates. Regular reporting is essential to Vision Zero and will create accountability. Each of the strategies and actions in the action plan have associated performance metrics that should be tracked on an annual basis. The most important metric is the number of fatal and severe injury crashes in the Township and that should be updated as soon as data is available. At the time of the development of this plan, crash data was available and complete until the year 2021. The crash data for 2022 would be available soon for analysis and the Township should analyze that data to inform the implementation of this plan. As noted earlier, lists of specific improvements are identified for the priority HIN Corridors as an immediate first step for implementation. These lists of improvements are included in Appendix A with key data facts for each Priority HIN Corridor. As and when funding is secured, the Township must continue implementation of Proven Safety Countermeasures for all the corridors and intersections on the HIN. A list of funding sources is included in Appendix C including, but not limited to, the Safe Streets For All and Road to Safety grants. WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN 87
