A. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The City of College Park (“the City”) seeks a qualified professional consulting firm or multidisciplinary team to serve as its Safety Action Plan Consultant for development of a City-wide Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) under the United States Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program.

The CSAP will serve as the City’s principal framework for reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries across all transportation modes while functioning as an implementation-oriented roadmap for measurable safety improvements. The plan will establish Vision Zero objectives; identify, prioritize, and recommend evidence-based safety strategies for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, and micromobility users; and advance actions consistent with the Safe System Approach.1

The CSAP will define actionable priorities, support near-term safety interventions through demonstration projects, and position the City to compete for future federal and state implementation funding opportunities. The selected consultant will function as a project steward to assist the City in developing a practical, data-driven plan that can be maintained and advanced by City staff beyond completion of the SS4A grant period. The CSAP will evaluate safety conditions across the entire City, including corridors under shared or adjacent jurisdiction, with coordination led by the City in partnership with the State of Maryland, Prince George’s County, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and the University of Maryland, and supported by the consultant for technical analysis, interagency coordination, and documentation activities.

Respondents should demonstrate experience developing federally compliant safety action plans, conducting data-driven roadway safety analysis, supporting environmental screening documentation, facilitating public and stakeholder engagement, and managing multi-phase planning efforts under federal grant programs. Familiarity with federal requirements applicable to SS4A-funded planning activities, including 2 CFR Part 200 and applicable conflict-of-interest provisions, is expected. Consultants involved in preparation of planning or environmental documentation must disclose any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, which will be reviewed by the City in accordance with applicable federal guidance.

VISION ZERO COLLEGE PARK PHASE 1:

PROJECT NARRATIVE

College Park, Maryland is a growing hub of activity in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Our population has grown nearly 30 percent since 2000. The more than 55,735 students and employees at the flagship campus of University of Maryland (UMD) grow our permanent population daily, although more are choosing to live in College Park and walk, bike, and roll to get where they need to go. The arrival of the Purple Line light rail will entail further changes and opportunities to achieve our vision of being a vibrant, forward-thinking city with a welcoming community that celebrates our history and diversity and strives for innovation, connectivity, and sustainability.

While FARS data indicate that College Park did not experience a traffic death between 2017 and 2021, Maryland State Police, however, reported seven fatal crashes between 2019 and 2023, with most occurring in the last two years, resulting in an annual average of four fatal crashes per 100,000 residents. To meet our community’s changing needs and safeguard against further loss of life, the City of College Park requests federal funds from the SS4A program to develop a comprehensive safety action plan (CSAP) and demonstration activities to inform the safety countermeasures in the CSAP. Together, these projects will enable College Park to proactively take a Safe System approach to ensure that no one is killed or seriously injured on our streets.

CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN FOR EVERYONE IN

COLLEGE PARK

College Park seeks to initiate an integrated, comprehensive, stakeholder- and community-driven process that takes a holistic and proactive approach to street safety. Our efforts will be informed by the Vision Zero Action Plan developed by Prince George’s County but will enable College Park to look more deeply at the safety challenges, countermeasures, and systemic strategies that are most applicable in our community. We will conduct a robust community engagement process to shape the CSAP with special focus on those most impacted by severe traffic crashes and historically underrepresented in our planning processes. Finally, the CSAP will enable College Park to integrate findings and recommendations from recent plans with crash analysis to prioritize projects and actions around safety.

College Park is in an excellent position to develop a CSAP. With the expansion of UMD, new mixed-use development near campus and along US 1, and the arrival of the Purple Line, College Park is working to shape itself into a more walkable and bikeable urban place for people of all ages and abilities. The City completed a Complete Streets Policy and Implementation Plan and Bike Boulevards Phasing and Implementation Plan in 2016 as well as the College Park Age Friendly Action Plan in 2022 and started a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) in 2023. Through convening an implementation committee, analyzing severe crash data, https://www.collegeparkmd.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2513/CP_Complete__Streets_TLC__Final_Report-2?bidId= https://www.collegeparkmd.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5385/Bike_Boulevards_Phasing_and_Implementation_Report_Final_6-10-2016?bidId= https://www.mncppcapps.org/planning/publications/PDFs/411/College_Park_Age_Friendly_Action_Plan.pdf https://www.mncppcapps.org/planning/publications/PDFs/411/College_Park_Age_Friendly_Action_Plan.pdf engaging people throughout College Park, evaluating our policies and processes, and using these inputs along with national and peer best practices, we will be better able to grow our safety culture and identify and address severe crash risk.

DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS TO CREATE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL USERS

Alongside the development of the College Park CSAP, we propose two types of demonstration activities that will inform the low-cost systemic safety toolbox included in the CSAP, provide our staff the opportunity to learn more about the Safe System approach, and enable College Park residents and stakeholders to gain familiarity with new safety tools and provide feedback.

The Local Street Traffic Toolbox Expansion demonstration project will deploy new traffic calming treatments on neighborhood streets throughout College Park to adapt our efforts to evolving safety needs. These are anticipated to include temporary traffic circles, speed reduction markings, and intersection daylighting at up to 10 locations.

Through the Major Street Speed Management demonstration project, we will pilot quick-build treatments on arterial and collector streets across College Park for future systemic deployment.

We anticipate utilizing lane narrowing, intersection daylighting, intersection reconfiguration, and temporary pedestrian refuge islands to reduce conflicts and dangerous driving behaviors, slow speeds, and create safer crossings for people walking and rolling at up to 10 locations.

Through the parallel College Park CSAP development process, we will engage and inform College Park residents and stakeholders about the demonstration projects. We will evaluate all demonstration activities using crash data, multi-modal before- and after- counts, qualitative surveys, as well as speed studies for the Major Street Speed Management projects. Analysis findings will be appended to the CSAP during plan implementation.
