ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Noo-Kayat Investments (NKI), an economic development corporation to support and assist in developing economic opportunities for the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe (PGST) has partnered with Transpo Group, a transportation planning and engineering consultant, to evaluate crash risks and propose improvements to Hansville Road, as well as all PGST roads. The PGST and NKI have a commitment to transportation safety and an interest in being proactive in developing and implementing safety countermeasures on PGST roadways to limit the severity of and prevent future crashes.
The focus of the safety study and plan is Hansville Road. PGST members are encouraged to inform the project team about local experience and concerns for transportation safety on Hansville Road and other PGST roadways. Some of the preliminary crash data is included for your review on this website, and our team is looking to supplement the data with information from the users of the transportation network.
The NKI and PGST will seek funding from grant programs to implement safety projects. Resources to provide projects will be limited, and grant applications must be competitive in identifying projects that are expected to have a significant impact on reducing the risk and severity of future crashes. Thought the development of a safety plan, and seeking feedback from the community, NKI and the PGST will be able to prioritize projects and address risks that both the data analysis and the community identify as the most important.

Safety Data
and Analysis
For the crash data analysis, public crash data since 2018 was obtained from WSDOT. The data is from a central database of all police-reported crashes and is the best available resource to gather information on the history of transportation crashes. The crash data was analyzed statistically and spatially to understand what has contributed to crashes on Hansville road and other PGST roadways. The following tables summarize the most notable crash statistics, and the map shows where crashes have occurred and some of the contributing factors and crash severity.

SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
Matching Risk with Safety
A wide range of safety improvements are being considered to address crash risks on Hansville Road and other PGST roadways. As part of the safety planning effort, projects will be matched with risk factors on the transportation network to proactively reduce both the risk of and severity of future crashes.
