Wyandotte county vision zero action plan under the safe streets and roads for all (SS4A) program

This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) program will fund the development of a Vision Zero Action Plan by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, Kansas. The goal of this initiative is to significantly reduce or eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries within the county. The grant will support data collection, stakeholder engagement, feasibility studies, and the creation of a comprehensive safety action plan over a 2.5-year period from March 2024 to September 2026. As the local government entity responsible for transportation infrastructure and public safety in Wyandotte County, the Unified Government is well-positioned to lead this Vision Zero planning effort and leverage federal funding to improve roadway safety for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.
