Whiting comprehensive safety action plan

The City of Whiting received a $200,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) awarded on August 4, 2025. The award funds the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in Whiting, Indiana. The project extends through February 4, 2028 and supports planning, design, and stakeholder engagement activities necessary to identify and prioritize targeted safety strategies benefiting all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

As a planning-phase award under the SS4A program, this grant enables the City of Whiting to conduct data analysis, facilitate community engagement, and develop actionable recommendations for infrastructure and behavioral safety improvements. The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will serve as the foundation for potential future implementation projects and demonstrates the FHWA's commitment to supporting local initiatives that address transportation safety through evidence-based planning and comprehensive community involvement.
