During Tuesday morning’s Kankakee County Board meeting, the Board passed the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Transportation and Economic Development Project Coordinator Ben Wilson spoke to the plan before the vote, saying the County Board had signed on to the State’s vision to reduce the number of traffic fatalities to zero, which he said would take a very different approach to traffic safety
Wilson went on to say the plan also takes a look at what post-crash care looks like. He added the State of Illinois helped fund the planning process and he expects to revisit the plan in about five years.
