Bloomington's streets should be safe for everyone.
People should be able to get around Bloomington safely, whether they are on foot, using a mobility device, riding a bike, on a bus, or driving a car. Our Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning efforts will help to make that happen.
What are we doing in Bloomington?
The City of Bloomington began our SS4A efforts in the fall of 2023, and we aim to adopt an SS4A Action Plan in mid-2024. The SS4A Action Plan will include the following components, as outlined by the USDOT:
- Leadership commitment and goal setting that includes a goal timeline for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
- Planning structure through a committee, task force, or similar group charged with oversight of the Action Plan development, implementation, and monitoring.
- Safety analysis of the existing conditions and historical trends that provides a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries.
- Engagement and collaboration with the public and relevant stakeholders, including the private sector and community groups.
- Equity considerations developed using inclusive and representative processes.
- Policy and process assessments of the current policies, plans, guidelines, and/or standards to identify opportunities to improve them.
- Strategy and project selections that identify a set of projects and strategies that will address the safety problems described in the Action Plan.
- Progress and transparency methods that measure progress over time after the Action Plan is developed.
