Background

In 2022, the City of Dayton was awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to support the development of a Safety Action Plan.

The Safety Action Plan was developed through a collaborative, multidisciplinary process led by the City of Dayton. The effort was supported by a broad group of community partners, agencies, and stakeholders committed to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The City also partnered with a consultant team to provide technical analysis, engagement support, and best-practice guidance throughout the project.

The Safety Action Plan

This plan represents more than a policy document—it’s a commitment to transformative change. By prioritizing safety, equity, and accessibility, the city aims to build a transportation network that protects all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and transit riders.

Through targeted interventions, data-driven solutions, and community collaboration, Dayton is paving the way toward a future where no one dies on our roads.
