The Columbus Consolidated Government (CCG) is taking a proactive step towards safer streets for everyone by developing a comprehensive Safety Action Plan. The Safety Action Plan will use a data-driven process informed by public and stakeholder input to identify key safety issues and develop tailored solutions. The final plan will include prioritized projects and policies that the CCG and its partners will pursue to achieve the goal of zero roadway deaths and severe injuries. In coordination with the Safety Action Plan, the CCG is also developing Safe Routes to School Plan to identify and prioritize safe walking and biking policies and infrastructure improvements near schools.
