The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Fivco Area Development District $190,324 under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on July 29, 2025, with a completion date of July 29, 2027. This project grant supports the development of a comprehensive regional safety action plan for the Fivco area in northeastern Kentucky. The deliverables include planning and design activities, stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and the identification of targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety strategies to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries across all road user categories including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

As a multijurisdictional Local Development District, Fivco Area Development District will serve as the regional coordinating entity to advance transportation safety initiatives across its service area. The planning grant enables the organization to conduct comprehensive safety assessments, develop evidence-based safety strategies, and create an actionable roadmap for implementation of infrastructure improvements and safety interventions within the region.
