Puget sound regional council, WA for the project 'psrc/MPO coordination of ten local safety action plans

The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) was awarded a $2,870,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. The grant will fund PSRC's coordination of the development of ten local safety action plans across the Puget Sound region in Washington. Through this award, PSRC will provide technical assistance, coordination, and planning support to transit agencies, local jurisdictions, and other stakeholders to develop comprehensive road safety plans and implement targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety interventions. The funding will enable PSRC to analyze data, engage stakeholders, and develop actionable strategies to significantly reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries involving various users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.

The project grant also includes sub-awards to several local jurisdictions, including the cities of Edmonds, Shoreline, Bonney Lake, Kirkland, Fife, Federal Way, and Sultan, as well as Snohomish County, to develop their own SS4A safety action plans. These sub-awards will support the planning and implementation of transportation safety improvements at the local level, aligning with the regional coordination efforts led by PSRC.
