The project team will lead a comprehensive review of existing conditions to identify transportation safety needs across all modes. This work is divided into two parts: Task 3 - Existing Conditions Inventory focuses on collecting and organizing data, while Task 4-Existing Conditions Assessment analyzes that information to identify safety challenges and opportunities. Together, these two tasks will support the development of targeted, actionable safety improvements that reflect the lived experiences of Port Arthur's residents, workers, and visitors. Existing Conditions Inventory will include: • Documentation of concerns from City of Port Arthur Department staff: We will conduct meetings and interviews with departments such as Police, Fire, Public Works, Planning, and others to gather internal safety concerns and operational insights. t ' , • Past 10 Year Crash Data, including truck-related crashes and hazardous t .•- • material spills history if available: Using TxDOT's CRIS database, we will extract and organize crash data by location, severity, and contributing factors.
