South Street Road Safety Audit

The Area Plan Commission and City of Lafayette are conducting a road safety audit for South Street (formally SR 26) between Sagamore Parkway and I-65. This corridor is one of the most heavily traveled thoroughfares within Tippecanoe County.

The purpose of a road safety audit is to examine crash history and identify short, medium, and long-range countermeasures. It will also examine traffic congestion and multimodal infrastructure components.

For this audit, the Area Plan Commission staff assembled and analyzed crash data over a five-and-a-half-year period. The information can be found below. The analysis included looking at the crash data by intersection, by month, by day of week, by time of day, by lighting conditions, by atmospheric conditions, by road surface conditions, by primary factors, those involving pedestrians and bicycles, by high incident locations, crash type, and RoadHAT calculations. Additional information and analysis includes a crash heat map and historic traffic count map. Finally, collision diagrams were put together for each intersection.

Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Funding

The US Department of Transportation is soliciting applications for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants. Funds are to be awarded on a competitive basis to support planning, infrastructure, behavioral, and operational initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets involving all roadway users, including pedestrians; bicyclists; public transportation, personal conveyance, and micromobility users; motorists; and commercial vehicle operators

The purpose of SS4A grants is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. The program provides funding to develop the tools to help strengthen a community’s approach to roadway safety and save lives and is designed to meet the needs of diverse local, Tribal, and regional communities that differ dramatically in size, location, and experience administering Federal funding

The SS4A program provides funding for two types of grants: Action Plan Grants (for comprehensive safety action plans) and Implementation Grants. Action Plan Grants are used to develop, complete, or supplement a comprehensive safety action plan. To apply for an Implementation Grant, an eligible applicant must have a qualifying Action Plan. Implementation Grants are available to implement strategies or projects that are consistent with an existing Action Plan. Applicants for Implementation Grants can self-certify that they have in place one or more plans that together are substantially similar to and meet the eligibility requirements for an Action Plan.
