Pedestrian safety action plan, phase 1

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) received a $3.08 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 12, 2022. The funding will support Phase 1 of NYSDOT's Pedestrian Safety Action Plan for improving pedestrian facilities at uncontrolled crosswalks and signalized intersections in urban areas across six counties in New York. Specifically, the grant will implement systemic countermeasures shown to reduce crash risk at high-risk locations, advancing the regionwide safety strategy outlined in the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan through roadway improvements.

Project description

Pedestrian safety action plan (PSAP), implementation program phase 1, systemic treatments. Onondaga, oswego, cortland, tompkins, cayuga and seneca counties. Contract 2. This project will make improvements to federal aid eligible pedestrian facilities at uncontrolled crosswalks and signalized intersections in urban areas throughout the region. The systemic approach outlined in the PSAP is intended to proactively address widespread safety issues and minimize crash potential by implementing countermeasures at locations that have been shown to be high risk based on crash type.
