Develop a comprehensive safety action plan for the eastern shore MPO and baldwin county AL

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded County of Baldwin $320,000 under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on August 26, 2025, to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for the Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Baldwin County, Alabama. The project will be completed by June 26, 2027, and will be performed in Bay Minette, Alabama. This planning grant supports the SS4A program's core mission to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries through data-driven regional safety initiatives.

The comprehensive safety action plan will guide the Eastern Shore MPO and Baldwin County in identifying and implementing targeted safety strategies benefiting all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. Deliverables under this award will include stakeholder engagement activities, safety data analysis, and the development of a coordinated safety action plan that identifies infrastructure and behavioral strategies to reduce transportation-related deaths and serious injuries. This planning effort represents a foundational step toward potential future implementation projects in the region.
