Safe Streets 4 All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

Project Description

• Roanoke County, Botetourt County and the Town of Vinton collaborated on a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan through the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program with the goal of preventing deaths and serious injuries for all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, commercial vehicle operators, transit riders and micromobility users.
• Community meetings were held in each locality to accept comments on the high crash areas that were identified. These community meetings were open house-style. Paper surveys were available at the meetings and digital versions were open on each locality’s SS4A webpage. More information on the community meetings that were held can be found below.
• A second round of community meetings was held later in 2024 and focused on proposed projects in each locality to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roadways.
