Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)

In February of 2023, the Black Hawk County MPO was awarded funding for an SS4A Action Plan. These funds will be used to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Waterloo’s Central Business District in the downtown area where a disproportionate percentage of fatal and serious injury crashes are occurring. Following completion, the Plan will provide an opportunity for the city of Waterloo to seek SS4A Implementation funding to implement strategies or projects that will improve and enhance safety. Read more about SS4A below.

A New Vision for Safety

The SS4A program aims to improve roadway safety by decreasing and eliminating roadway fatalities. The strategies behind SS4A are similar to Vision Zero, which recognizes roadway traffic deaths and severe injuries as a “public health issue”. The overall goal of both SS4A and Vision Zero is to implement proactive and preventative traffic safety measures to achieve zero roadway deaths.
