<br />in the roadway network as well as other elements including land use, transit, freight, and other community factors to create a comprehensive
<br />course of action. A Safety Plan addresses federal and state regulations, including local ordinances, design guidance as well as performance
<br />management goals, measures, and targets, and promotes equitable outcomes.
<br />The map on the previous page shows all the safety projects we have helped our clients with.
<br />Collision Analysis Dashboard
<br />TJKM specializes in creating Dashboards for our clients. TJKM developed a Collision Analysis Dashboard based on collision data for the past
<br />10 years for the City of Concord. The Dashboard comprises of an interactive mapping tool to conduct collision analysis, visualize data, analyze
<br />collision trends, and develop and monitor an high injury network (HIN). The culmination of these features allows the city to implement resources
<br />to best prioritize safety projects with the highest benefit. The Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping tool was designed to connect
<br />several attribute charts. The Collision Analysis Dashboard assists the city to work towards achieving the Vision Zero goal. In addition, its
<br />functionality is embedded for the network to monitor the performance of implementation of safety measures and help formulate safety policies
<br />and procedures.
<br />Grants
<br />TJKM has extensive experience in assisting local agencies in preparation of grants including SS4A, HSIP,
<br />ATP, Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD), and regional grant funding
<br />opportunities and many more. In addition to assisting agencies with grant preparation, we also have a
<br />thorough understanding of the required Federal and United States Department of Transportation
<br />guidance including but not limited to National Roadway Safety Strategy, the Safe System Approach,

<br />Data Collection and Analysis
<br />TJKM’s services include data collection utilized to augment available databases. Many of our engineers and technicians collect field data,
<br />including turning movement and volume counts and reduce the information in a manner necessary. Prior to initiating field data collection, TJKM
<br />will review each potential inventory items with your agency to ensure there is complete agreement on each component of the inventory. By
<br />observing traffic conditions personally, we can then determine the most effective strategies that will actually work to improve operations rather
<br />than what may sound good on paper. The data collected is then input into a program, such as TRAFFIX, Synchro, or SimTraffic to develop
<br />traffic count databases and traffic speed profiles using GPS technology. We analyze the data to determine if the amount of traffic data within the
<br />study area is acceptable to your agency’s standards. TJKM has years of experience in crafting and implementing neighborhood and circulation
<br />plan studies that take into account existing traffic count data in order to develop various short-term and long-term strategies to improve traffic
<br />impacts on existing traffic circulation and other multimodal uses.
<br />Equity Assessment
<br />Equity is ensuring that Safe Streets for and Roads for All and Vision Zero initiatives are benefiting all
<br />demographic groups, with particular attention to ensuring safe, healthy, and fair outcomes for people with
<br />disabilities, low-income populations, Native American peoples, people of color, female, LGBTQ, people
<br />whose families speak a language other than English, people experiencing houselessness, and other
<br />demographic groups. Analysis of Census data reveals populations which are considered vulnerable, and
<br />reaching and including these groups and individuals is paramount to the success of this project.
<br />Our project team is well versed in considering and delivering considerations of equity in all of our efforts. What we find in practice is that different
<br />communities have different definitions and concerns regarding equity. TJKM explores the topic of equity and seeks to identify how a particular
<br />definition may best represent the needs of the community while at the same time aligning with definitions and expectations of grant funding
<br />sources.
