Safe Streets For All (SS4A)
The City of Marathon was awarded a grant from the Department of Transportation as part of the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program. A comprehensive safety action plan (referred to as an “Action Plan”) is a plan to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in the City. Action Plans are the foundation of the SS4A grant program.
The SS4A program provides funding for two main types of grants: Planning and Demonstration Grants for Action Plans, including supplemental safety planning and/or safety demonstration activities, and Implementation Grants. The City awarded the contract for the development of the Action Plan to Stantec through resolution.
7 Components of an Action Plan
The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality, Tribal area, or region.
A successful Action Plan includes the following seven key components:
- Leadership commitment and goal setting
- Planning structure
- Safety analysis
- Engagement and collaboration
- Policy and process changes
- Strategy and project selections
- Progress and transparency
