Safe Streets and Roads for all
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) – Autauga County
In 2023, alongside Elmore, Chambers, and Perry Counties, our County received an SS4A grant to prepare a Safety Action Plan. This plan aims to provide a collaborative and data-driven strategy to reduce transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries on county-maintained roadways.
Autauga County Commitment to Roadway Safety
Autauga County is dedicated to enhancing roadway safety and reducing traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. Through the SS4A Safety Action Plan grant, we will identify key projects on county-maintained roads to achieve these goals.
In partnership with our Safety Task Force, we are adopting a collaborative and integrated approach to create a safer, more resilient transportation network for all road users. Together, we are committed to making safety a priority in our community.
What is SS4A?
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) is a discretionary grant program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). In 2024, Autauga County received an SS4A grant to develop a Safety Action Plan.
This plan aims to identify roadway safety improvements through a collaborative, proactive, and data-driven process to ultimately reduce roadway-related fatalities and serious injuries on county-maintained roads.
Why do we need a safety action plan?
From 2019 through 2023, 6,892 crashes occurred on public roadways in Autauga County. These crashes resulted in 54 fatalities, 201suspected serious injuries, 878 non-incapacitating injuries, and 823 possible injuries.
Our goal is to significantly reduce the number of serious injuries and fatalities that happen on our roadways through the development of a data-driven and collaborative approach. The Safety Action Plan will help identify strategies and prioritize safety projects that will help make a meaningful impact on roadway safety.
