The enhancing support for safety in the BAY area project will enhance the BAY areas existing comprehensive safety action plan with in-depth safety plans for key regional corridors

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission received a $5.4M Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939), awarded on September 17, 2025. The Enhancing Support for Safety in the Bay Area project will enhance the Bay Area's existing Comprehensive Safety Action Plan by developing in-depth safety plans for key regional corridors. The phased, five-year grant will deliver enhanced partner access to safety data through the BayViz data tool and establish a technical support bench and safety toolbox for regional partners, with completion targeted for September 17, 2030.

The project supports the SS4A program's mandate to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries through regional safety initiatives. As a metropolitan planning organization and eligible SS4A applicant, MTC will coordinate with multiple stakeholders across the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area to implement data-driven safety strategies and infrastructure improvements benefiting all road users. The deliverables position the Bay Area to address identified safety priorities through enhanced planning capabilities, improved data accessibility, and technical resources for implementation partners.

The project will also enhance partner access to data through our bayviz data tool and develop a technical support bench and safety toolbox for partners. This will be a phased grant.
