Safe Streets & Roads for All Safety Action Plan

Project Introduction

The City of Daphne developed a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan to identify safety challenges and improvements on our transportation system. The Safety Action Plan’s purpose is to improve roadway safety by planning and implementing projects designed to significantly reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries among all users, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit users. The Safety Action Plan is funded with a grant from the United States Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.

Project Components

The comprehensive safety action plan will include the following key components:

  • Leadership commitment and goal setting that includes a goal timeline for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
  • Planning structure through a committee, task force, implementation group, or similar body charged with oversight of the Action Plan development, implementation, and monitoring.
  • Safety analysis of the existing conditions and historical trends that provides a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries across a jurisdiction, locality, Tribe, or region.
  • Engagement and collaboration with the public and relevant stakeholders, including the private sector and community groups, that allows for both community representation and feedback.
  • Equity considerations developed through a plan using inclusive and representative processes.
  • Policy and process changes that assess the current policies, plans, guidelines, and/or standards to identify opportunities to improve how processes prioritize transportation safety.
  • Strategy and project selections that identify a comprehensive set of projects and strategies, shaped by data, the best available evidence and noteworthy practices, as well as stakeholder input and equity considerations, that will address the safety problems described in the Action Plan.
  • Progress and transparency methods that measure progress over time after an Action Plan is developed or updated, including outcome data.

Vision Zero

Roadway fatalities are increasing every year in the United States. The goal of Vision Zero is to eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The City of Daphne’s Safety Action Plan will look at the City through the lens of the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach works by building and reinforcing multiple layers of protection to both prevent crashes from occurring and minimize the harm caused to those involved when crashes do occur. This approach is a shift from a conventional safety approach because it focuses on both human mistakes and human vulnerability and designs a system with many redundancies in place to protect everyone.

This Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan is funded with a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The adoption of the plan will allow the City to apply for implementation of capital construction grant funds through the federal discretionary grant program.
