WHAT IS THE CORTEZ SAFETY ACTION PLAN?

The Cortez Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will provide a roadmap to achieve zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries in Cortez for all modes of transportation, including walking, biking, and driving.​

​

The project is led by the City of Cortez and Cortez Police Department and funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safe Streets for All program.​

 

The plan will gather input from the community on safety issues, analyze crashes, and identify future safety improvement projects.
