The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is leading the charge in making our roads safer for everyone. Through the SS4A Southern Nevada Action Plan, the RTC is working alongside local jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the community to reduce serious injuries and fatal crashes across the region.
Traffic fatalities in Southern Nevada have been on the rise, with crashes affecting not only motorists but also the region’s most vulnerable road users—pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorcyclists.
To reverse this trend, the RTC is developing a plan that prioritizes impactful solutions to address safety challenges head-on. Using new data sources and public feedback, this initiative will guide the push for infrastructure design changes, policy recommendations, and public education efforts that promote safer streets.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Southern Nevada Action Plan is dedicated to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries through a community-driven, data-informed approach.
Implement strategies that lower vehicle speeds and prevent dangerous roadway conditions, with a focus on underserved communities that experience a disproportionate number of traffic-related deaths.
Use demonstration projects to test and refine cost-effective safety measures, such as speed bumps, protected bike lanes, and safer crosswalks, before permanent infrastructure changes are made.
Ensure broad and inclusive public outreach so all voices contribute to shaping a safer transportation system.
Utilize new data sources to prioritize high-impact safety projects, developing a project scoring and prioritization system that balances cost and benefits to maximize lives saved.
Create a comprehensive regional safety plan that builds multiple layers of protection through safe road users, safe speeds, safe roads, safe vehicles, and post-crash care.
Align with national and local safety goals to make zero fatalities the standard, not the exception, ensuring no one loses their life in a preventable crash.
To ensure broad community engagement and effective safety improvements, this project partners with local jurisdictions across Southern Nevada. Each Clark County jurisdiction provides unique insights, expertise, and stakeholder connections to support meaningful outreach and implementation.

Understanding where crashes happen is key to improving safety. Our High Injury Network (HIN) Map highlights roads and intersections with the highest number of fatalities and serious injury crashes. These locations, identified through crash data, are where safety improvements are most needed.

Help shape future design decisions by piloting small, temporary roadway installations in your community.
Join a community walk where we assess street safety to help identify challenges and opportunities for improvements.
Participate in a facilitated conversation to share your safety feedback with us and help guide future transportation safety decisions.
Share your thoughts with us and be a voice for your community by completing the survey. Your feedback can help shape a safer future!
Demonstration projects are temporary, low-cost street safety improvements designed to test and showcase potential infrastructure changes.
These projects, which will begin being installed in Fall 2025, allow communities to experience safer, people-friendly streets while providing valuable data for future permanent upgrades.
We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts on what would make streets safer in your neighborhood.
Is there enough lighting? Are crosswalks clear and easy to use?
Are sidewalks wide, smooth, and ADA-compliant?
Are there safe bike lanes and enough bike parking?
Are there shaded areas, benches, and safe places to rest?
Are vehicles traveling at safe speeds for pedestrians?
A Walk Audit is a guided community walk where we assess sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, lighting, and overall street safety. These audits help identify real-world challenges and opportunities for improvements—all while giving you a voice in shaping future street designs.
We’re hosting 8 Walk Audits in Fall 2025 across Southern Nevada, including:
To the right are the main elements we will be acessing in each Walk Audit:
Sign up for a Walk Audit near you and help make Southern Nevada a better place to walk, bike, and live.
Focus groups are your chance to share feedback on transportation safety and help us create safer streets. Your voice is crucial in shaping the future of Southern Nevada.
We’ll be conducting 8 focus groups across Southern Nevada in Fall 2025.
We need 20 participants per focus group, including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, transit riders, and community leaders. Participants will represent the demographic makeup of each area.
