Erie SS4A Safety Action Plan
A project that strengthens safety in Erie, PA, with community in mind.
Challenge
The City of Erie, Pennsylvania, won Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) to develop a safety action plan that addresses the upward trend of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and serious injuries happening in the city.
Solution
Kittelson identified Erie’s high-injury network and priority locations for safety improvements through crash and systemic safety analyses. A robust engagement process combined traditional outreach with targeted conversations with Erie’s New American communities to ensure recommendations reflected community needs.
Working with City leadership, Kittelson developed an implementation strategy for achieving Vision Zero by 2035, including improvements along six priority corridors, systemic intersection safety treatments, and policy recommendations such as traffic calming and context-based street design.
Outcome
Erie’s new Safety Action Plan contains a robust, easy-to-understand implementation strategy that gives the city its best chance of achieving its Vision Zero goal by 2035. Following completion of the plan, Erie was awarded a $20 million Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) implementation grant to advance priority safety improvements, creating a major opportunity to move from planning to implementation and deliver meaningful changes on City streets.
