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 City of Clarkston Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan is a proactive effort to make roadways safer and reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries throughout the city. 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. 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 Clarkston's drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users.

We Need Your Help!

Stakeholder and public participation play a crucial role in the development of the Safety Action Plan. Outreach efforts will educate Clarkston's residents and stakeholders on roadway safety trends and issues, and gather input on roadway safety perceptions, needs, and priorities that can be incorporated into the plan. Outreach techniques are designed to reflect Clarkston's community and encourage broad participation. Outreach is intended to generate meaningful feedback and build relationships that will support action once the plan is completed.
