Union County and the City of Elizabeth are creating a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan to make roads safer, lower the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roadways, and improve mobility and quality of life for everyone who travels in our community.

By prioritizing mobility for all roadway users, we can make our streets safer for everyone. This requires partnership between the government, law enforcement, community groups, and you – those who use our roads every day.

The Planning Process

In the fall of 2024, the Union County Department of Engineering began identifying key partners, collecting data, and educating the public about the Safe Streets for All Action Plan.

Key Objectives of the SS4A Action Plan

• Identify the high crash-risk locations and key safety concerns within the County.
• Ensure equitable investments in the safety needs of underserved communities.
• Organize a robust public and stakeholder engagement process focused on inclusivity, community representation, and feedback.
• Develop safety strategies and countermeasures using the Safe Systems Approach.

Action Plan Advisory Committee

An Action Plan Advisory Committee (APAC) was created to support the project team and ensure the collaboration of County departments, municipal governments, regional agencies, and community groups to help develop a vision for the Safe Streets for All Action Plan.

The APAC will meet four (4) times throughout the planning process, offering background documentation, insights into local conditions, and feedback on draft strategy recommendations.
