SS4A Action Plan
Martin County has developed a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan to prepare for an SS4A Federal grant application. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new SS4A discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over the next five years. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
The SS4A program supports the National Roadway Safety Strategy and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways. This SS4A Action Plan is a requirement for applying to use SS4A funds for design and developmental activities to carry out projects identified in the Action Plan.
The SS4A Action Plan builds from the foundation of the MPO Vision Zero Plan and demonstrates consistency with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the SS4A Discretionary Grant Opportunity Amendment 1.
Within this Action Plan, the goal of the coordinated set of projects is to achieve fewer traffic fatalities and serious injuries each year on Martin County roadways until the vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries is reached.
Recommendations for these SS4A projects were shaped by a crash data analysis, the best available crash countermeasure evidence, stakeholder interviews, and noteworthy practices identified in the Vision Zero Plan, that all address the traffic safety problems described.
