The Department of Energy’s Richland Operations Office and Office of River Protection are taking steps to improve traffic safety on the Hanford Site. These measures are meant to improve the safety of the workforce and visitors to the Hanford Site. There will also be benefits in improving the flow of traffic and reducing traffic congestion.
If you work on or have business on the Hanford Site, you can help improve traffic safety and reduce traffic congestion, as well as reduce your carbon footprint when traveling on the site. The Department encourages drivers to use Van Pools, share rides, and use alternative fueled vehicles that generate less carbon dioxide. The agency encourages people who live closer to work to use an alternate form of transportation, such as riding a bicycle or walking to work.
Because Site employees and those doing business on the site need to travel long distances to dozens of different job sites, there will continue to be thousands of cars on Hanford roads. In order to improve traffic safety, DOE commissioned an independent study on the current state of Hanford roadways. The study provides specific recommendations, and DOE is moving ahead with making improvements.
This web page includes links to that study, a briefing on the recommendations, and information on specific improvements that are being made. Please do your part while driving on Hanford Site roadways to keep yourself and other drivers safe.
