PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION

On 08/21/2023 WC-CL RMA and the City of Laredo entered into an agreement via Resolution No. 2023-R-165 to pursue the development of a comprehensive safety action plan (Action Plan) that identifies the most significant roadway safety concerns and the implementation of projects and strategies to address roadway safety issues.

Resolution 2024-R-090 was approved March 18, 2024 to continue the Vision Zero Program and supporting the development of the plan.

 

BACKGROUND

The Parties agreed to submit a joint grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation ("USDOT") Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant program ("SS4A") to fund the Action Plan (the "SS4A Application"). The program supports the development of a comprehensive safety action plan (Action Plan) that identifies the most significant roadway safety concerns in a community and the implementation of projects and strategies to address roadway safety issues. Action Plans are the foundation of the SS4A grant program. SS4A requires an eligible Action Plan be in place before applying to implement projects and strategies.
