The Transportation Safety Planning Working Group (TSPWG), formerly known as the Safety Conscious Planning Working Group, is an informal, ad hoc group of safety and planning professionals. The group began in May 2000 to identify strategies for moving forward on the integration of safety into the long range transportation planning process to reduce the number and severity of crashes on the nation's roadways. TSPWG meet to develop ideas, foster and encourage activities, and gather and exchange information, but only as needed.
