The Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) was awarded a $1,060,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) federal grant program. The award, granted in July 2024, will fund the development of a countywide Safe Routes to School (SRTS) plan, the creation of traffic speed reduction best practices, and the enhancement of the Sonoma County Vision Zero data dashboard.

The project, which will run from July 2024 to July 2027, involves SCTA collaborating with the cities of Healdsburg and Petaluma. SCTA will work with Healdsburg staff to conduct local SRTS planning and traffic speed reduction engineering studies, which could serve as models for other local jurisdictions. SCTA will also work with Petaluma staff to perform a multi-modal improvements study for the Lakeville Highway corridor in Petaluma. The goal of this grant project is to improve transportation safety and reduce fatal and serious injuries across various road users in Sonoma County, California.

Scta will lead efforts to develop a countywide safe routes to school plan, develop traffic speed reduction best practices, and implement enhancements to the sonoma county vision zero data dashboard in response to these recommendations. Scta staff will work with city of healdsburg staff to conduct local detailed srts planning and traffic speed reduction engineering studies that could serve as models for other local jurisdictions and scta staff will work with city of petaluma staff to conduct a multi-modal improvements study for the lakeville highway corridor in petaluma.
