Central Ohio High Injury Network
Streets that have historically experienced a high number of crashes resulting in fatal and serious injuries are considered high injury corridors. The Central Ohio High Injury Network (HIN) includes those high injury corridors within MORPC’s MPO area where multiple fatal and serious injury crashes occurred along continuous, or mostly continuous, stretches of the identified roadways. This HIN is used to highlight the priority corridors for safety improvements throughout the region, and helps to prioritize where safety funding is invested within the region.
Central Ohio Transportation Safety Plan
The Central Ohio Transportation Safety Plan is a comprehensive safety plan for the Central Ohio region that identifies the most significant causes of serious injuries and fatalities on the local roadway system. The plan establishes a series of goals and benchmarks for safety improvements, identifies existing trends and critical safety priorities, and sets up a framework for how collaboration can improve safety throughout the region. This plan was developed by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) in collaboration with local, state, and private sector organizations with a wide array of expertise on transportation safety in Central Ohio.
