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.
