Ocala Marion TPO
Commitment to Zero Safety Action Plan Survey

The Ocala Marion TPO is working on the development of the Commitment to Zero Safety Action Plan that will look at how the community can work together to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. Your input will be instrumental in providing perspective and direction on how the TPO can work with local and state partners to improve transportation safety in Marion County. Thank you!

If you have questions or comments relating to the survey, please contact, Rob Balmes, AICP CTP, at Rob.Balmes@marionfl.org or 352-438-2630.

Disclaimer: If you have a concern about a safety issue that requires immediate attention, please contact your law enforcement agency or local government office. This survey is intended to solicit feedback regarding ongoing safety issues in Marion County.
