Rapid City Safe Streets & Roads for All Safety Action Plan

Rapid City Safe Streets & Roads for All Safety Action Plan Skip to main content

Plan Background

In 2023, Rapid City was awarded $160,000 to develop a Safety Action Plan as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.

This funding provides our community the opportunity to develop a plan that expands upon existing transportation goals and objectives to create a safer community with zero roadway deaths.

The Safety Action Plan will include a safety analysis of:

  • Severe Crash Events
  • Current Conditions
  • Road Users

The SS4A Safety Action Plan will utilize that data, along with future forecasted conditions, to develop a plan that will analyze the entire transportation system to identify high priority safety locations and provide recommendations to address issues at these locations. The recommendations will be prioritized into short-, mid- and long-term projects to create an implementation plan.
