The Crawford County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution #2026-021 on May 26, 2026, formally endorsing a Vision Zero policy that commits the county to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030 and to implement a Safe Streets and Roads for All plan.
County Counselor Jim Emerson presented the resolution and told the board the Regional Planning Commission has joined Crawford County on related efforts; he also noted a City of Pittsburg law enforcement office is pursuing a planning grant connected to discussions that began in 2022. No grant amount or implementation funding was specified during the meeting.
Commissioner Carl Wood moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Tom Moody seconded the motion. The board recorded yeas from Commissioners Wood, Moody and Chairman Bruce Blair and the motion carried (motion 26-253). The resolution was entered into the meeting record as Resolution #2026-021.
The record does not specify an implementation timeline beyond the 2030 target or identify funding sources; the board did not take additional implementation actions at the May 26 meeting. The resolution and related planning will proceed through the county’s normal staff and interagency coordination processes, including any grant applications referenced by Emerson.
