138-24 Exhibit to Resolution Adopting the Township of West Orange Vision Zero Action Plan.pdf

STRONG COLLABORATION WITH ESSEX COUNTY West Orange Township will achieve its Vision Zero goal through its partnership with Essex County since County roadways account for the majority of the high-injury network (HIN) in West Orange. Essex County has been a valuable member of the West Orange Vision Zero Task Force and will soon be developing a countywide Vision Zero Action Plan funded through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program. West Orange Township must continue to collaborate with Essex County through the implementation of the actions in this plan and inform and support the development of the Essex County Vision Zero Action Plan. IMPLEMENTATION/FUNDING West Orange Township will achieve its Vision Zero goal by building on national momentum for Vision Zero and pursuing funding for the action plan. At the top of the list of funding sources is the Safe Streets and Roads for All implementation grant. Additionally, West Orange should ensure that the Safe System Approach is central to all roadway infrastructural decision-making in the Township. Appendix C includes a list of funding sources for implementation. MONITORING AND EVALUATION This plan is intended to be a living document and should be updated annually, tracked, and evaluated on a regular basis. As actions are implemented, West Orange Township should monitor progress utilizing performance measures developed in this plan. The results of the progress tracking will help inform future projects related to roadway safety in the Township and ensure that the West Orange is steadily moving towards the goal of zero deaths and serious injuries.
