What is a Safety Action Plan?

Chippewa County was awarded funding by the U.S.DOT to develop a Safety Action Plan to identify the county’s transportation safety needs and prepare a comprehensive strategy to prevent traffic fatalities and serious injury crashes along the County’s transportation network. The study will include a roadway evaluation and recommendations to improve safety for all users of the County’s network, including people who drive, walk, bike or roll.

Study Goals

• Determine a commitment to eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries along the County’s roadway network
• Identify existing roadway safety issues
• Evaluate and prioritize potential safety improvements 
• Engage the community using inclusive and representative processes targeting underserved communities
• Identify opportunities to update existing County policies and plans to incorporate the goals and objectives of the Safety Action Plan
• Identify potential funding sources.

What is SS4A?

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds in the United States over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. The SS4A supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s goal of zero roadway deaths.
