What is Safe Streets for WNC?
The French Broad River MPO and Land of Sky RPO are excited to introduce The Safe Streets for WNC Safety Action Plan. The plan is a comprehensive initiative dedicated to creating safer and more accessible roadways for everyone. Funded through the Safe Streets for All grant program through the IIJA Infrastructure Bill, the plan focuses on reducing roadway crashes, improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and promoting responsible driving habits. By using the Safe Systems Approach, we aim to create innovative roadway design solutions, and foster community engagement. The plan aims to make our streets safer, more inclusive, and conducive to healthy, active lifestyles. Join us in transforming our region into a place where everyone can navigate safely and confidently.
This plan will cover Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania Counties. The plan will provide counties with detailed information about crash and safety histories and provide strategies and countermeasures as we strive for safer roadways for all users. Check out our one pager HERE!
