Move Safe Mesa County
Crashes on Mesa County roadways affect residents and visitors every day. Some crashes are minor, while others change lives in an instant. The Regional Transportation Planning Office works with local partners to reduce serious crashes in Mesa County. Dedication to ensuring every journey ends safely, whether behind the wheel, on a bike, or on foot, remains a top priority.

Building a safer system requires a clear understanding of crash trends. The Mesa County Crash Data Dashboard is a new, interactive tool designed to provide the community with a snapshot of local transportation safety trends. By visualizing where crashes occur and identifying contributing factors such as speed, impairment, or weather, this dashboard helps make data-driven decisions about safety improvements.
