Transportation planners analyze a range of alternatives and impacts when selecting designs, but too often safety evaluations are neglected or assessed as a separate post-process. Integrating safety into the planning process, and explicitly building tools and models for alternative scenario evaluation to account for safety outcomes is critical. Despite previous attempts to integrate road safety to planning models, one area needing further attention is the safety of road users (rather than road entities) and an examination of how changes in demographics, housing choices, and travel patterns affect safety
