Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a request to apply for discretionary grant opportunity funding through the US Department of Transportation for Safe Streets and Roads for All.

The purpose of the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through the development of a safety action plan. The program provides funding to develop the tools to help strengthen a community’s approach to roadway safety and save lives. Williamson County will participate as a joint applicant in the CAMPO-led regional application for the development of a safety action plan. The amount of the grant request is $2,900,000. There is a local match requirement. Williamson County’s share of the local match is $50,000. Williamson County’s match is anticipated to be funded through the use of Toll Development Credits. If Toll Development Credits are not used, then the match will be funded from the Road & Bridge Division’s Budget.
