Safe Streets and Roads for All Planning Studies

The City was awarded a Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant to perform supplemental planning studies to support and enhance the adopted Ocala Marion Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Commitment to Zero Safety Action Plan. The purpose of SS4A grants is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and refinement and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

Supplemental planning studies include:

1.            Developing a city-wide Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads for all road users; and

2.            Developing a Speed Management/Traffic Calming Plan targeting safer speeds in residential areas and around schools.
