1 ANATOMY OF BROWN COUNTY: A TRAFFIC SAFETY SUMMARY DID YOU KNOW An individual is killed or seriously injured in a crash in Brown County every 3 ½ days? 1

2 THE PLACE Section Summary Brown County is the center of a metropolitan area with a population of over 300,000 persons. Principal routes include USH 41, I-43, STH 172 east of I-41, STH 57, and STH 29 east of I-43 and west of STH 57. The county is in the top ten counties for VMT, miles of roads, miles of local roads, and number of registered vehicles. The county is in the bottom ten counties for miles of highway per VMT, miles of highway per capita, miles of state highways per VMT, miles of state highways per capita, miles of county highways per capita, and miles of local roads per capita. Brown County is among the top ten counties for urban population, urbanized area, percent of the county s population that is urban, and percent of the county s area that is urban. Urbanization Brown County is the center of the Green Bay metropolitan area, and it is adjacent to the Appleton metropolitan area and the Shawano and Manitowoc urban clusters. The county population is largely urban, with 85.51% of Brown County residents living in urban areas % of the area of the county is urban. 1 The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is also located in western Brown County and neighboring Outagamie County. Road Network The northern terminus of Interstate Highway 43 is in the village of Howard. I-43 carries traffic along the coast of Lake Michigan to Milwaukee via Manitowoc and Sheboygan. Within Brown County, it travels through Green Bay, Bellevue, and Denmark. I-41 begins at the same point as I-43, and heads south toward Appleton and Oshkosh via Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, and De Pere. United States Highway (USH) 41 is concurrent with I-41. North of Howard, USH 41 travels through Suamico on its way to Oconto and Marinette. USH 141 begins south of Bellevue at I-43 and runs north, carrying traffic to Iron Mountain, Michigan, via Bellevue, Green Bay, Howard, and Suamico. In Green Bay, USH 141 travels along Main Street, Dousman Street, N Broadway, Mather Street and Velp Avenue. USH 141 is concurrent with US 41 through Howard and Suamico. To the north of Green Bay, State Trunk Highway (STH) 57 is an expressway carrying traffic toward Sturgeon Bay. While in Green Bay, STH 57 runs along Monroe Avenue and University Avenue. To the south, STH 57 travels through Allouez and De Pere on its way to Chilton. STH 57 is concurrent with STH 32 entering the county from the south to De Pere, in which it diverges from STH 32. STH 32 travels north through Ashwaubenon, Green Bay, Howard, Hobart, and Pulaski. 1 United States Census Bureau. Percent urban and rural in 2010 by state and county. Accessed Sept. 29,

3 To the west of I-41, STH 29 is an expressway that carries traffic west toward the Wausau, Eau Claire, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul areas. East of I-41, STH 29 travels through downtown Green Bay and then through Bellevue on its way to Kewaunee. STH 29 and STH 32 are co-signed west of I-41 through Howard the along the village boundary of Hobart. STH 172 is a freeway from I-43 in Bellevue to I-41 in Ashwaubenon. To the west of I-41, STH 172 travels by the Austin Straubel International Airport located in Hobart and Ashwaubenon. STH 54 travels through Hobart and Green Bay. To the west, it travels to Black Creek, New London, and Waupaca, and to the west it carries traffic toward Luxemburg and Algoma. STH 96 begins at I-43 in Denmark and travels west through Wrightstown toward Kaukauna. STH 160 begins at STH 32 in Pulaski and heads west toward STH 29. Miles of Roadway There are 2,335 miles of roadway in the county, including 185 (7.9%) miles of state roads, 361 (15.5%) miles of county roads, 1,784 (76.4%) miles of local roads, and five miles of another type. 2 Vehicle Registrations and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) In 2016, there were 96,325 autos, 15,007 cycles, 27,216 trailers, and 129,413 trucks registered in Brown County. 3 VMT in 2016 was 2,516,634, Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

Overall, the population of Brown County is somewhat younger than the state (the median age of the county is 36.8, while the comparable figure for the state is 39). In comparison to the state, the county is home to a somewhat higher percentage of children and teenagers and a lower percentage of elderly individuals. 8 United States Census Bureau.

15 HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE Injury-to-Death Ratios Injury-to-death ratios are computed by dividing the total number of crash injuries by the crash fatalities. Higher rates are positive in that fatalities comprise a smaller percentage of crash victims. In general, higher rates are found in the state s urbanized southeastern and south-central regions and the Fox Valley, where crashes are more likely to occur in more developed areas (and thus at slower speeds). In rural areas, the converse is true (highways and county roads predominate, with crashes occurring at higher average speeds). Generally, rural areas also suffer from a relative lack of proximate hospitals and emergency response services, which means that some crashes which would be survivable in urban areas correspond to fatalities in more rural areas. Figure 12 shows the injury-to-death ratios for Wisconsin counties. Between 2012 and 2017, Brown County reported an above-average (better) injury-to-death ratio than the state generally (102.1 vs. 73.1). Hospital and EMT Access As can be seen in Figure 13, Brown County is well-served by hospitals as it is the site of two level II trauma centers, a level III trauma center, and a level IV trauma center. Other hospitals surround the county s edges. 14 The closest level I trauma center is located about 100 miles to the south in Milwaukee. Brown County maintains 11 different emergency providers (listed below). These companies employ 655 emergency personnel. Consequently, the county is the site of 2.56 emergency response personnel per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the state figure of 4.02 emergency response personnel per 1,000 residents. 14 The trauma capacities of hospitals are rated on a I-IV scale, with some remaining unrated; Level I hospitals have the greatest capacity. 15

31 THE GRANTS The Bureau of Transportation Safety targets counties throughout the state based on crash frequency and severity, considering their size, location, and contributing behavioral factors as indicated on crash forms received from local law enforcement agencies. Overtime enforcement grants are offered to the law enforcement agencies of a county to form a high-visibility enforcement task force that will coordinate efforts with each other and locals to change the driving behavior in their county. If a county makes the targeting list for an enforcement grant to address a behavioral highway safety issue, all law enforcement agencies within the county are eligible to participate on a task force to address the problem. National priority issue areas include impaired driving, seat belt use, speeding, and distracted driving Grant Participation Impaired Driving Occupant Protection Speed Brown County Sheriff s Office $49,104 $35,960 Ashwaubenon Dept. of Public Safety $24,010 De Pere Police Dept.
