Safe Streets for All Action Plan

The City of Santa Barbara is developing a city-wide Safe Streets for All Action Plan (Action Plan). The Action Plan aims to make Santa Barbara’s streets safer by preventing traffic fatalities and serious injuries, and by increasing safe and easy access for all . The Plan will do this by identifying roadway improvements that make it safer and easier for people to move throughout the City.

The Action Plan includes:

• Mapped infrastructure improvements along the City’s Vision Zero High Priority Corridors.  
• Updated Safety Analysis to identify if any changes or additions are needed to the City’s Vision Zero High Priority Corridors.  
• Equity impact assessments of traffic collision data, proposed projects, and strategies for underserved communities.
• Robust community and stakeholder engagement and collaboration.
• Updated policies and processes to improve prioritization of transportation safety.  
• Safety countermeasures to reflect best practices that could be incorporated with pavement maintenance, City capital and/or land development projects.
• Short-, mid- and long-term projects to improve safety.
• Updated Safe Routes to School Maps and additional safety enhancements along the routes. 

The Action Plan will identify roadway improvements that make it safer and easier for people to move throughout the City, especially for our road’s most vulnerable users: pedestrians and bicyclists.
