The Planning Division and the Public Works Department work on transportation safety projects throughout the County.  Projects include road safety studies, maintenance projects, and capital improvement projects to improve safety.  Santa Fe County has recently completed the Madrid Regional Transportation Safety Plan (September 2021) and the Tesuque Roads Safety Study (January 2023) to address safety issues in these unincorporated communities.  A TAC Transportation Safety Subcommittee has been formed to provide a planning framework to address existing and proposed safety studies and oversight.
