The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Discretionary Grant Program and appropriated funds from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) to implement the Program. The Broward MPO and Broward County Government jointly applied for the SS4A Grant and received a $5 million grant award from USDOT to develop the Broward Safety Action Plan (BSAP). Broward County Government generously provided the required match of $1.25 million. This Action Plan is a joint commitment between the partners to improve safety for all roadway users, including vulnerable users (pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, micromobility, and other non-motor vehicle users) and to develop implementation strategies to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. 

The BSAP is the initial step for local agencies to pursue additional Federal grant funding to implement roadway safety projects. MPO staff is preparing to bring the BSAP to the MPO Board for approval to meet eligibility requirements for the 2025 SS4A Implementation Grants. Previous BSAP presentations have focused on the planning process and schedule. At the upcoming meeting, MPO staff will present an update on BSAP and will introduce themes that have emerged from the Data Gathering and Analysis and also from the Focus Plans. The primary themes are Lighting, Bus Stops Location, Speeding, and Technology. 

For the PowerPoint presentation, please see the Attachment. Questions and comments will be addressed at the meeting.
