The subcontractor will be responsible for translating complex traffic safety data into actionable strategies that align with the city’s goal of eliminating traffic-related deaths and severe injuries. Efforts must include prioritizing locations with the greatest safety concerns, proposing evidence-based countermeasures such as infrastructure redesigns, speed management solutions, and behavioral interventions, and ensuring recommendations are feasible, equitable, and aligned with local transportation goals. The contract is open to qualified subcontractors with expertise in traffic safety analysis and urban planning, and responses must be submitted by September 1, 2026. The work will directly support the city’s broader commitment to creating safer streets for all residents through systematic, data-informed action.
