Plan Introduction and Background
BMTS is developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Broome and Tioga Counties. The Safety Action Plan is funded through a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. The goal of the SS4A program is to prevent traffic deaths and serious injuries on roads, streets, and highways by following the Safe System Approach. The Safety Action Plan will identify the most significant roadway safety concerns in Broome and Tioga Counties and include strategies and proposed projects based on what was learned from recent data trends and the community.
Project Purpose and Goals
