JACKSON, Tenn. – The City of Jackson is developing a city-wide Safety Action Plan with the goal of reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries. This plan will identify a well-defined strategy that is developed in part based on community input about transportation goals, needs, and priorities. The public is invited to fill out an online survey to identify risk factors and locations in need of safety improvements. The survey will open for input from March 26th at https://jacksontnsafetyplan.com.
The city will be collecting additional public input for the Safety Action Plan at upcoming community events. In the next phase, the community will be invited to provide feedback on specific projects and solutions to address the safety concerns identified by this initial round of public outreach.
This plan will conform to the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration. The SS4A program was developed by USDOT in 2022 to fund initiatives to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
The completion of the Safety Action Plan will allow the City of Jackson to apply for implementation of capital construction grant funds through the federal discretionary grant program.
The City of Jackson will hold a public meeting regarding the SS4A Safety Action Plan on April 10, 2025 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. The meeting will take place at the Jackson Madison County Library located at 433 East Lafayette Street.
