	Transportation Planning Excellence Award The Cheyenne Metropolitan Planning Organization was recently honored with a Transportation Planning Excellence Award for its Transportation Safety Planning and Implementation initiatives. The Transportation Planning Excellence Awards Program, a biennial awards program, developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration ( FTA) and co-sponsored by the American Planning Association, provides a unique opportunity to recognize and celebrate the outstanding transportation planning practice performed by planners and decision makers in communities across the country. Over 80 projects were nominated for this year’s Excellence Awards. An independent, expert panel of judges reviewed each nomination, and identified 11 Award Winning projects that went well beyond standard practice to demonstrate an exceptional level of innovation and creativity. The Cheyenne Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has taken a leadership role as one of the first MPOs in the country to develop a regional Transportation Safety Management Plan. To develop the plan, the MPO organized regional safety stakeholders and transportation professionals to engage in a discussion focused on developing solutions to reduce roadway crashes in the region. Cheyenne MPO identified emphasis areas based on fatal and injury crash factors in the region where concentrated efforts can make effective positive impacts. Since its adoption in 2008, the Cheyenne MPO has begun actively implementing the plan. As a result, for the first time the MPO received grants from the Wyoming Highway Safety Office to implement safety strategies. In 2009, the grants were used to for a Law Enforcement Summit on safety belt enforcement and a study to prioritize hazardous intersections. Additional grants were awarded in 2010 to conduct a Legislative Briefing on transportation safety and a 'Battle of the Belts' effort focused on increasing seatbelt use among high school students. The Legislative Briefing was held on February 19, 2010 and touched on several transportation safety topics identified by the safety emphasis teams. The Battle of the Belts initiative was done in April and May of 2010. As a result of this initiative, all three high schools in Cheyenne increased their safety belt use by 10-15 percent.
