The SS4A Southern Nevada Action Plan is a community-driven initiative led by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries across Clark County. Through public engagement, data-driven strategies, and infrastructure improvements, this plan will identify and implement solutions to make roadways safer for all users— drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists, and transit riders.
Too many lives are lost or forever changed due to preventable traffic crashes in Southern Nevada. Clark County has experienced a steady increase in traffic-related deaths over the past several years. Lifechanging crashes don’t just impact drivers; pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable and are disproportionately affected. The region’s current roadway designs need to be adjusted to prioritize safety for all users.
The SS4A Southern Nevada Action Plan is analyzing all of Clark County – both urban and rural areas – for potential roadway improvements. The following jurisdictions are also participating as project partners:
The total cost of the project is about $2 million. The RTC received funding through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program and matched 20 percent of that amount.
Community involvement is essential to identify areas where safety improvements are needed. The RTC will conduct a County-wide survey through August 31, 2025 to gather public input and feedback about potential locations and types of safety improvements to be installed. In addition to public input, the project team has developed a High-Injury Network (HIN) map that includes recent historical data collected from crashes. This map visually identifies locations at high risk for crashes, deaths and serious injuries.
Visit LetsGoSafely.com to take the short survey, and to be entered in a raffle to win a $100 VISA GIFT CARD. The survey also includes an interactive map where participants can drop markers to identify locations with safety issues and add comments and photos directly on the map. The RTC will also conduct in-person survey events throughout Clark County. To find an event near you, visit LetsGoSafely.com.
The results of this survey and the input received will be considered when determining the types and locations of safety improvement projects that will be installed as a part of this project. The RTC believes it’s important that the safety improvements selected accurately reflect the community’s needs.

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.
Examples of Demonstration Projects
Single Separated Bike Lane: Provides a safer environment for cyclists by physically separating them from motor vehicle traffic
Curb Extensions: Improves visibility for drivers and shortens crossing distances for pedestrians
Medians/Islands: Offers pedestrian refuges and slows down traffic
Single Lane Narrowing: Encourages slower driving speeds, enhancing overall safety
Roundabouts & Traffic Circles: Reduces fatal and injury crashes compared to traditional intersections, in part because speed throughout the intersection is greatly reduced.
A maximum of seven projects will be installed across Clark County, focusing on areas with high crash rates or significant safety concerns.
Each project will be in place for approximately 30 days, allowing time for public input and data collection before making final recommendations.
Community members can share their thoughts on the project website, LetsGoSafely.com. Members of the public can also provide feedback by participating in focus groups, or by contacting the project team directly.
A Walk Audit is an on-the-ground assessment of a specific segment of a local roadway. During the walk audit, community members, transportation planners, and local officials meet in person to analyze a local roadway section to identify safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users. These audits help document challenges like missing sidewalks, unsafe crosswalks, poor lighting, and speeding vehicles.
A maximum of seven Walk Audits will be conducted across Clark County in areas identified as high-risk for pedestrian and cyclist safety. Locations will be selected based on community feedback, crash data, and areas with high pedestrian activity.
Residents are encouraged to join Walk Audits to share their experiences and observations. Information on upcoming Walk Audits, including dates and locations, will be posted on the project website, LetsGoSafely.com. Participants can also provide feedback online if they cannot attend in person.
Observations and insights gathered during Walk Audits will help inform safety improvements, infrastructure changes, and policy recommendations as a part of the SS4A Southern Nevada Action Plan.
A Focus Group is a small, guided discussion where community members share their thoughts on specific transportation safety issues. These discussions help planners understand local concerns and generate solutions based on lived experiences.
A maximum of seven focus groups will be held at locations across Clark County. To see an upcoming schedule of meetings and their locations, and to request to participate, please visit the project website, LetsGoSafely.com.
Anyone interested in roadway safety can join, including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and individuals with disabilities. Participants will be selected to ensure diverse perspectives from different neighborhoods and travel modes.
Feedback from Focus Groups will help shape safety strategies, policy recommendations, and infrastructure priorities for the SS4A Action Plan.
