Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan
Ensuring safe, accessible, and desirable transportation in Central Indiana is central to the IMPO's mission. Over the past few years, the IMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) has seen significant rises in fatal and incapacitating car crashes, a trend which, without intervention, is unlikely to reverse itself. The Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan (or Safety Action Plan for short) consists of several components: goal setting, safety analysis, public engagement, equity analysis, policy and process proposals, and progress reporting.
Additionally, as part of this planning effort, the IMPO adopted an updated Vision Zero statement which set a goal of reducing fatal and serious crashes by 35% by 2040. This Safety Action Plan represents the beginning of a more concentrated effort to improve safety in the Central Indiana MPA, and provides a foundation for the IMPO to pursue supplemental planning work on this topic. The plan will be updated annually throughout the life of the 5-year federal "Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Discretionary Grant" program (2022-2026), to better understand the issues facing our region.
