What is a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan?

Decorative right arrow

A part of the Safe Roads for All (SS4A) program, a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) is a plan developed to identify, analyze, and prioritize safety related improvements within the Tribal transportation system. The plan will apply a systemic safety approach to identify high-risk locations, engage stakeholders to understand the needs of the Tribal community and its visitors, develop strategies to implement safe designs that are effective and equitable to all road users, and aid in the process to secure funding for implementing safety improvements.

The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians is committed to fostering a safe, sustainable, and connected community through an equitable active transportation plan. By prioritizing the health, well-being, and mobility of our tribal members and neighbors, we aim to create accessible pathways, promote walking and cycling, and honor our ancestral lands while reducing our environmental impact. Together, we will build a future where every journey reflects our values of stewardship, unity, and resilience.

    Develop a Comprehensive Safety Strategy

    Establish a structured safety program and toolbox that aligns with best practices, supports systemic safety improvements, and fosters opportunities for future initiatives.
