Comprehensive safety action plan for central indiana

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization (IMPO) received a $480,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on August 18, 2025. The grant supports the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Central Indiana, with project completion scheduled for April 18, 2028. This planning initiative will address roadway safety across the central Indiana region by conducting stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and strategic planning activities designed to prevent fatalities and serious injuries on roads and streets for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

The deliverables under this award include the development and documentation of a comprehensive safety action plan that identifies targeted infrastructure improvements and behavioral safety strategies tailored to regional transportation needs. As a metropolitan planning organization serving multiple jurisdictions in central Indiana, IMPO will coordinate regional planning efforts and leverage the funding to advance transportation safety objectives across the Indianapolis area. This planning grant positions the region to potentially implement identified safety strategies through future infrastructure and demonstration projects.
