Wood Rodgers was recently awarded a ITE Mountain District Transportation Achievement Award in the Safety Category. The award was won for the Citywide Intersection Crash Mitigation Project done for the City of Las Vegas.
“Wood Rodgers provides consistent and professional engineering services with clear and authentic client focus solutions, and has been an exemplary consulting firm to work with.” -Sean Robinson, City of Las Vegas Project Manager
The Citywide Intersection Crash Mitigation Program (CICMP) was a very successful safety project Wood Rodgers completed for the City Of Las Vegas. It contained a well-balanced scope and format that seamlessly transitioned from an in-person environment to a virtual environment during the Covid-19 pandemic. It applied multiple innovative ideas, including the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Systemic Approach, Vision Zero, and ArcGIS Storymaps. The CICMP has a strong applicability to the safety aspect of the transportation engineering and planning fields as it correlates to the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), as well as the Untied States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) commitment to roadway safety and Vision Zero. Additionally, the CICMP exhibits a commitment to the advancement of the profession as it is the first step toward reducing the high number of crashes on the City’s roadways and ultimately reducing fatal crashes and serious injury crashes to zero.
The CICMP implemented best-practices and emerging methods to set forth a data-driven foundation for proactive safety improvements. The data driven foundation set forth by the CICMP will be utilized for years to come to help improve the safety of the city through future CICMPs and the collaborative Vision Zero Program, eventually reaching the goal of no fatalities or serious injuries involving road traffic. This represents a new culture of safety that is leading the way to the next generation transportation system in this fast-growing desert oasis.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
