Welcome!
The Des Moines Area MPO is seeking to create a regional Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) that will guide the region and local communities toward systemic improvements in roadway safety. The CSAP will need to meet the requirements of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A), and the process of developing the CSAP is equally important to shift the roadway safety culture in the Des Moines region. The CSAP will create community-based and data-driven recommendations that will strive to eliminate fatal and serious roadway crashes in addition to projects that prioritize equity and could leverage funding and implementation.
The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan is now complete. Please click the link below to view the plan and appendices. Thank you to all that were able to participate in providing feedback!
