Macomb County Department of Roads Comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan
Safe streets for all. Every mile. Every road.
As part of MCDR's ongoing mission to provide the public with a safe and efficient transportation system, the agency is developing a Comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan (CTSAP), known as Safe Streets for Macomb County, which will include a complete review of all roads under Macomb County jurisdiction.
In response to increased traffic incidents and adverse driver behaviors such as speeding and distracted driving, MCDR applied for and secured a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant, which will help fund MCDR’s safety action plan. The goal of Safe Streets for Macomb County is to develop a holistic strategy to help reduce the number of incidents and prevent fatalities and serious injuries on Macomb County roadways.
Key components of the safety action plan include comprehensive safety analysis, community engagement and collaboration, and identifying and prioritizing safety strategies and projects. Safe Streets for Macomb County will also consider equity throughout the process, including the disproportionate impacts of traffic crashes in disadvantaged communities.
With community input, the safety action plan will prioritize roadway and infrastructure projects that address transportation safety challenges for Macomb County residents and support MCDR’s efforts to secure future funding opportunities for safety projects. MCDR will be working with representatives from local municipalities, major employers, school districts, and community groups to identify concerns and ideas related to the safety action plan.
Additional information and resources, including the public input survey, are available online.
