Safe transportation systems protect lives, reduce injuries, and ensure that all road users—whether drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, or transit riders—can travel without fear of harm. Safe streets are a fundamental part of building inclusive, thriving, and connected communities where people of all ages and abilities can move freely and confidently.

The Bartow County Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan is a proactive effort to make roadways safer and reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries across the county. This plan follows national safety goals set by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Roadway Safety Strategy and Vision Zero initiatives, which strive for zero traffic deaths and serious injuries for all road users.

Covering Bartow County and its cities—Adairsville, Cartersville, Emerson, Euharlee, Kingston, Taylorsville, and White—the Safety Action Plan combines data analysis, technical research, and input from stakeholders and the public to identify key safety challenges. The plan will recommend actionable strategies and projects to improve road safety and ensure safe travel for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users throughout the county.

By working together and using a data-driven approach, Bartow County is taking meaningful steps toward safer streets for everyone.
