The Federal Highway Administration awarded South Eastern Council of Governments (SECOG) a Project Grant of $340,890 on July 10, 2025, under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) to develop a Regional Safety Action Plan. The grant, with a completion date of July 10, 2028, will support SECOG's comprehensive safety planning efforts across the southeastern South Dakota region, encompassing Clay, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, Turner, and Union counties. The project will deliver a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries through data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and strategic safety initiatives benefiting all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.

This award reflects SECOG's established expertise in regional planning and coordination across multiple counties. As the administering agency for SS4A, the Federal Highway Administration provides competitive grants to local and regional entities to support transportation safety planning and implementation activities. The Regional Safety Action Plan developed through this funding will serve as a strategic blueprint for addressing safety priorities and identifying targeted infrastructure improvements within SECOG's service region.
