Staff will provide a status update on the development of a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan at the June 26, 2026 meeting. SS4A Action Plans are typically tied to competitive USDOT grant funding and require robust data analysis, safety planning, stakeholder engagement, and project identification to be eligible for implementation grants. The agenda suggests that the Action Plan is still in development, with no vendor or completion date disclosed.This presents opportunities for firms specializing in roadway safety, Vision Zero/SS4A planning, crash data analysis, GIS, public engagement, and grant strategy to support plan completion and position the region for future SS4A implementation grants. Once the Action Plan is finalized, identified safety projects will need further design and construction, creating a downstream pipeline of work.

The SS4A Action Plan is likely supported by USDOT funding and will underpin future safety project grant applications and implementation.
