Welcome to the Transportation Safety Action Plan Page

The Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) aims to improve road safety for everyone in the County. Our goal is to make our roads safer by addressing traffic risks, especially for people walking, rolling, biking and driving. We’ll use data to pinpoint where crashes happen and understand what causes them. Then, we’ll work with the community to design safety solutions that meet local needs.

Focus

The TSAP will cover all Benton County roadways, including those in urban areas. Safety recommendations will also support local goals in cities within County boundaries. For more information and project timeline visit our plan focus and details page.

Approach

A TSAP works with the Safe System Approach which is a way of designing and managing roads, communities, and transportation systems to keep people safe. It looks at the big picture and considers all the factors that can prevent accidents and reduce harm.

Is this the same as the Transportation System Plan (TSP)?

A TSAP and a TSP work together to improve how people get around safely and efficiently. The TSAP focuses on preventing crashes and reducing serious injuries or deaths by identifying specific safety issues and solutions. The TSP looks at the bigger picture, planning how the entire transportation system—like roads, sidewalks, and bike paths—will grow and change over time to meet the community’s needs. Together, they create a safer and more effective system for everyone.

How is this funded?

The TSAP is primarily funded through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) federal grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation. By aligning with the SS4A program, Benton County is eligible to apply for future funding to implement priority projects.
