The planning document will establish a framework for developing and implementing safe and affordable transportation options that benefit all road users in Moncks Corner. As a planning-phase grant under the SS4A program, the funding supports planning and design activities, stakeholder engagement, and data analysis necessary to identify targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety strategies. This award reflects the Town of Moncks Corner's commitment to leveraging federal transportation safety resources to address community-specific safety challenges while advancing equity and public health outcomes over the two-year project period.
