This project will allow the town to test a data-driven hypothesis, to investigate the replicability of measures to improve traffic and pedestrian safety under the safe streets for all (SS4A) program

The Town of Boiling Springs, North Carolina received a $483,000 project grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) effective August 22, 2025, with a completion deadline of August 22, 2028. This award supports the town's development and implementation of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries among all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.

The funded project will enable the Town of Boiling Springs to test data-driven hypotheses and investigate the replicability of traffic and pedestrian safety measures within its jurisdiction. The initiative encompasses planning, design, and development activities necessary to establish the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, as well as the implementation of targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety strategies identified through stakeholder engagement and data analysis. As a competitive SS4A award, this grant reflects the municipality's commitment to evidence-based transportation safety improvements and positions Boiling Springs to serve as a potential model for similar safety initiatives in comparable communities.
