City of Ocala to Host Second Public Input Meeting on Road Safety

OCALA, Fla. (Oct. 24, 2025) - The City of Ocala Engineering Department will host its second Community Road Safety Planning meeting Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), 15 SE Osceola Ave.

The City of Ocala has received a Fiscal Year 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant and is utilizing it to make local roads safer for everyone. The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about two major planning efforts designed to reduce and eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on Ocala's roadways:

• Local Road Safety Plan: Identifying and prioritizing safety improvements across the city's local roads.
• Speed Management and Traffic Calming Plan: Target safer driving speeds in neighborhoods and near schools.

Community members are encouraged to attend to meet the project team, view project displays and share ideas and feedback to help shape Ocala's road safety.

The City of Ocala is leading this effort in partnership with the State of Florida, the Ocala Marion Transportation Planning Organization and Marion County. Together, these partners are working toward the long-term goal of elimination roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
