This award will be used by marinette county, wisconsin to create a comprehensive safety action plan to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries

Marinette County, Wisconsin received a $160,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on August 7, 2025. The award funds the development of a comprehensive safety action plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries across the county. The plan will identify and assess transportation safety issues specific to Marinette County and establish defined action steps to guide future safety investments and initiatives.

The project is scheduled for completion by January 7, 2028, allowing the county adequate time to conduct stakeholder engagement, perform data analysis, and develop targeted strategies that address the transportation safety needs of all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. This planning-phase grant represents FHWA's investment in local-level transportation safety initiatives established through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enabling municipalities and counties to establish evidence-based frameworks for reducing roadway injuries and fatalities.

The plan will identify and assess the transportation safety issues facing the county and provide defined action steps to guide the county towards future returns on safety investments.
