SS4A – Kent County Safety Action Plan
The project will develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Kent County, Delaware. The comprehensive Safety Action Plan will follow USDOTs eight-element planning model to identify improvements for the safety and resiliency of the transportation network, and to analyze the ability to respond, stabilize, and prevent serious injury or death for all users, as well as the DelDOT Complete Street Design Guide. The SS4A project will efficiently leverage existing transportation plans. The SS4A project will collect/analyze data, fully involve the public, identify alternatives and innovative and cost-effective strategies. It will develop recommendations, to include policy changes, that will result in system safety improvements for current and future transportation needs of all users. A plan that is rooted in data analysis; considers populations that are most vulnerable to serious injury or fatality; creates a prioritization framework for project implementation; and has leadership commitment to achieve zero deaths.
