This month, the TPO has filed a "Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)" grant application with the US Department of Transportation (USDOT).
The purpose of the SS4A grant program is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users; pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro-mobility users and commercial vehicle operators.
The River to Sea TPO, in partnership with Volusia and Flagler Counties, as joint applicants, has requested SS4A grant funds to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP). Flagler County government has agreed to represent the rural (non-urbanized) areas of Flagler County, which will enable the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to cover the entire geographic area of Flagler County (as well as Volusia County).
The CSAP's main component will be a safety analysis. This analysis will identify safety improvements for roadways and provide a cost-to-benefit analysis and estimated costs for the identified improvements.
Once the plan is completed, the local municipalities can then apply to the USDOT for funding for the improvements identified in the CSAP. In doing so, these projects can be funded years earlier than they normally would through the typical allocations the TPO receives each year.
For more information on the SS4A grant go to SS4A Grant Information.
