The Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan is a community-driven initiative, led by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) in collaboration with local government partners, that aims to reduce traffic-related deaths and serious injuries across our region. With input from the community, data analysis, and infrastructure improvements, we're working to make our streets safer for everyone- whether you walk, bike, ride the bus, or drive.
Southern Nevada has experienced a sharp increase in traffic-related deaths and serious injuries, with a concerning rise in deaths among people who walk, bicycle, or ride motorcycles. This growing trend underscores the urgent need for data and community-focused solutions that inform safer street design.
Addressing this issue will take a shared commitment from local communities, organizations, government, and law enforcement working together. To reverse this trend, the RTC is developing a plan that brings together data, research, public input, design improvements, and policy recommendations to make streets safer for everyone.
The Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan is dedicated to reducing traffic injuries through a community-driven, data-informed approach.
Save lives through smarter, safer roadway designs. Emphasize safety by incorporating innovative design strategies for future roadway projects.
Use real-time data and temporary installations to test what works.
Ensure broad community outreach so all voices contribute to shaping a safer transportation system and collaborating with local agencies and partners.
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 regional safety plan that builds multiple layers of protection through community input, data analysis, and policy recommendations.
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.

Understanding where crashes happen is key to improving safety. Developed with crash data from NDOT, the Safer Streets Priority Network identifies the roads and intersections with the highest concentrations of traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.
The Safer Streets Priority Network covers 32% of Southern Nevada’s 8,000 miles of roadway—about 2,560 miles— targeting the roads and intersections with the highest concentrations of deadly and serious crashes. The map highlights where safety improvements can have the greatest impact—helping Southern Nevada take strategic, data-informed steps toward eliminating serious crashes.
