Public Comment Period: Safety Action Plan - Destination Safe Streets
Ozarks Transportation Organization seeks input on Destination Safe Streets – the Regional Safety Action Plan.
The Ozarks Transportation Organization (OTO) has developed Destination Safe Streets – a regional safety action plan, now available for public comment. In 2023, OTO was awarded a $228,800 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). Established in 2022, the SS4A program funds planning and implementation activities to prevent deaths and serious injuries on our roadways.
The Safety Action Plan has been developed for the OTO planning area which includes Christian County, Greene County, Battlefield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Springfield, Strafford, and Willard. The Plan identifies focus areas for roadway safety from a policy, systemic, and project perspective.
