City Finalizes Comprehensive Safety Plan for Safer Streets

Here at the City of Raleigh, our goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate deadly and serious injury crashes on our roads. Led by Raleigh Transportation, the City recently completed a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) with funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.

Safe street design is important as Raleigh continues to grow. It helps prevent crashes, improves how people move around the city, and supports strong, connected communities. Feedback from a public survey in 2025 helped guide the City's safety strategies and showed where improvements were needed most.

Raleigh's plan aims to reduce deadly and serious injury crashes by 50% by 2040 and achieve a 100% reduction by 2055. This work will help make streets safer for everyone, including drivers, people biking, walking, and using public transit. The project team also studied crash data to find high-injury and high-risk areas across the city and focus on making improvements where they are needed most.

The SS4A grant program was created through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2022. Since then, it has provided $2.7 billion in funding to communities across all 50 states.
