Meeting will be held in-person at the Council Bluffs Public Library, 400 Willow Avenue, Council Bluffs IA at 2:00pm Wednesday May 8th.
Meeting Agenda
Meeting Presentation
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) is a competitive grant program through the US Department of Transportation that will provide $5 billion over 5 years to improve traffic safety by supporting local communities in the development of safety action plans, and the implementation of projects which reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on the local road network. In 2023, MAPA was awarded grant funding to develop a regional Comprehensive Safety Action Plan.
Nationwide, traffic deaths are increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in disadvantaged and underrepresented communities. From 2016-2020 the MAPA region has experienced a higher rate of nonmotorist fatalities than the either Nebraska or Iowa state averages, with a disproportionately high impact on disadvantaged communities.

Established in 2018 to support MAPA’s development of Federal Safety Performance Targets, the goal of the MAPA Safety Committee is to bring together a broad range of safety stakeholders to help define regional safety priorities and support regional performance-based safety planning.
