We’ll explain the legislative process, talk about some bills that are being heard this session, and leave you equipped to take action.

SS4A – Safe Streets 4 All Survey

NOW is the time to share your road safety concerns and be a part of the statewide planning process!

The SS4A planning project will create municipal Safety Action Plans (SAPs) for 32 participating communities (Exeter and Charlestown opted out), as well as a statewide SAP. This will encompass shifting safety needs, known and emerging areas of safety improvement, identification of priority projects, and will help the State of Rhode Island and its municipalities position for further federal implementation funding.

This project includes a three-tier safety analysis to understand the current state of road safety in each community, identify high risk areas, and develop a predictive view of potential crash sites. However, data doesn’t always include all the information.

SS4A needs to hear from you about your road safety concerns and hopes for your community.
