Safe Streets

To address and combat increasing trends in preventable roadway crashes, the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization (FBRMPO) and Land of Sky Rural Planning Organization (LOSRPO) developed a plan for the Land of Sky region in Western North Carolina (WNC). FBRMPO and LOSRPO initiated the planning process in early 2024 and completed the plan in August 2025.

This plan covers Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania Counties. The plan provides these counties with detailed information about crash and safety histories, and provide strategies and countermeasures as we strive for safer roadways for all users.

The project team has developed a story map to display potential safety countermeasures and how they would look on roads similar to those in WNC.
