TITLE/REQUESTED ACTION:

Request to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign U.S. Department of Transportation Grant Agreement for Fiscal Year 2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program Federal Award No.:693JJ32640486 and to sign a resolution authorizing Anna Hudson to administer the grant and execute any subsequent reports, forms or documentation required by the grant on the County's behalf

PURPOSE / SUMMARY EXPLANATION OR HISTORY:

REQUEST: Staff recommends approval of Fiscal Year 2024 Safe Streets and Road for All (SS4A) Grant Agreement with the US Department of Transportation to provide funding for the development of a 2 part grant approach.

Planning Grant- Development of a Safety Action Plan This plan will be coordinated with the ECRC Safety Action Plan to capitalize on synergies between the plans and avoid any unnecessary overlapping efforts. The key goals of Walton County’s Action Plan are to (1) identify intersections and roadways with the highest number of injuries and fatalities, in addition to core causes of risks, (2) develop processes for participatory feedback from community members across the County, with a focus on underserved communities, (3) identify practical and cost-effective solutions to roadway injuries and fatalities organized around the Safe System Approach, and (4) develop processes to evaluate and monitor trends and track roadway safety and the impact of any interventions well into the future.

Demonstration Grant- Crosswalk Connections along CR 30A and Scenic Highway 98 Corridors The Crosswalk Connections demonstration activity would study of the efficacy of more extensive crosswalk safety treatments including improved lighting, enhanced signing and pavement markings, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) along the CR 30A and Scenic Highway 98 corridors. The demonstration activity would consist of (1) Identification and prioritization of crosswalk enhancement locations focused on crash history, usage, and crash risk factors, (2) Evaluation of appropriate crosswalk treatment for each prioritized location utilizing FHWA and FDOT guidance and standards, (3) Design and installation of the safety treatments and (4) Monitoring and reporting of the efficacy of the safety treatments at one-year intervals for up to three years following their installation

SUMMARY PROJECT INFORMATION

3.1 Summary of Project’s Statement of Work.

Planning and Demonstration Narrative: The Safety Action Plan will use a data-driven approach to identify specific countermeasures, strategies, and actions including ways that County funding could be prioritized to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes. The County will coordinate efforts with the municipalities and other community affiliates within the county to identify initiatives which will lead to a significant decline in roadway fatalities and serious injuries. This plan will be coordinated with the ECRC Safety Action Plan to capitalize on synergies between the plans and avoid any unnecessary overlapping efforts. The key goals of Walton County’s Action Plan are to (1) identify intersections and roadways with the highest number of injuries and fatalities, in addition to core causes of risks, (2) develop processes for participatory feedback from community members across the County, with a focus on underserved communities, (3) identify practical and cost-effective solutions to roadway injuries and fatalities organized around the Safe System Approach, and (4) develop processes to evaluate and monitor trends and track roadway safety and the impact of any interventions well into the future.

The Crosswalk Connections demonstration activity would study of the efficacy of more extensive crosswalk safety treatments including improved lighting, enhanced signing and pavement markings, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) along the CR 30A and Scenic Highway 98 corridors. The demonstration activity would consist of (1) Identification and prioritization of crosswalk enhancement locations focused on crash history, usage, and crash risk factors, (2) Evaluation of appropriate crosswalk treatment for each prioritized location utilizing FHWA and FDOT guidance and standards, (3) Design and installation of the safety treatments and (4) Monitoring and reporting of the efficacy of the safety treatments at one-year intervals for up to three years following their installation

The project will be completed in three phases.

Base Phase: Pre-NEPA: The County will conduct planning activities to include preliminary evaluation/design of crosswalk locations and treatments and develop a Safety Action Plan. This phase also includes completion of all NEPA activities.

Option Phase 1: Final Design of Crosswalk Demonstration Activities: Scope of work includes the development of a full set of design plans for the determined crosswalks locations along Scenic Gulf Drive and CR 30A in Walton County that will be prioritized to include enhanced safety treatments such as improved lighting, enhanced signing and pavement markings, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). Plans development for the crosswalks will include appropriate treatment and construction/installation documents developed utilizing FHWA and FDOT guidance and standards.

Option Phase 2: Construction of Demonstration Activities: Scope of work includes the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) along CR 30A and Scenic Highway 98 corridors with determined associated lighting, enhanced signage and pavement markings for the determined priority locations. The associated engineering required for the construction activities (CEI) as well as the follow up monitoring.

2. Supporting Narrative.

Part of this project scope is to develop a comprehensive transportation plan that would identify, evaluate and recommend improvements for Walton County in regards to maximizing safety impact. This plan would take into consideration efforts to support good-paying jobs and strong labor standards.

The Walton County Board of County Commissioners and CareerSource Okaloosa Walton (CSOW) will partner and engage with other worker-based organizations in the development and the lifecycle of the project, including through evidence of project community benefit agreements or memorandum of agreements.

The Walton County Board of County Commissioners and CareerSource Okaloosa Walton (CSOW) will engage with worker-based organizations throughout the development and implementation of the workforce development project. These partnerships will help ensure that program design, training delivery, and support services align with the needs of workers and reflect current industry and labor market demands.

Engagement activities may include collaboration on curriculum design through workforce partner agencies, participant outreach, supportive service coordination, and feedback mechanisms that strengthen worker voice in shaping workforce strategies. Where appropriate, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners will formalize these collaborations through Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs) or similar partnership frameworks that promote equitable access, fair treatment, and quality employment outcomes for participants.

This approach underscores the project’s commitment to inclusive workforce development, equitable opportunity, and the creation of sustainable career pathways that benefit both workers and employers.

Documentation of these partnerships and agreements will be maintained as part of the project’s ongoing performance and compliance reporting.
