Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

The Calaveras County Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) aims to improve roadway safety and reduce serious injury crashes for all road users in Calaveras County. 

Calaveras County is developing a CSAP, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, to improve safety on roadways and at intersections. The plan will provide a path to identify and address safety issues/concerns, and propose projects/improvements that aim to reduce and ultimately eliminate roadway fatalities, injuries, and collisions. 

The development of the plan will include the following:

  • A comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers crash data
  • An engagement process that includes online and in-person engagement
  • A collection of prioritized improvement projects
  • An implementation plan that includes funding opportunities 

Why are we here?

The Calaveras County CSAP was initiated by Calaveras County and is funded by the USDOT SS4A grant program. The plan aims to identify and address roadway safety concerns throughout Calaveras County. 

What is SS4A? What is a CSAP?

The USDOT SS4A grant program was established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years (2022-2026). The program funds transportation projects that prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. For more information, visit the program webpage at https://www.transportation.gov/grants/SS4A. 

The USDOT SS4A grant program funds two types of grants:

  • Planning and Demonstration Grants, which fund CSAPs.
  • Implementation Grants, which help agencies carry out CSAPs, including the construction of proposed projects/improvements.

CSAPs, like this one, provide a framework of projects and strategies that improve roadway safety. CSAPs are planning documents that prepare agencies for future funding and construction. USDOT SS4A grant program awards Implementation Grants to agencies that have a CSAP

Timeline

https://www.DnnDeveloper.In

The plan was initiated in June 2025.

Data will be collected and analyzed to determine existing conditions. The results will provide a baseline for analyzing potential improvement projects

The community is encouraged to provide input via the Interactive Map and the Survey.

Based on an extensive evaluation of existing conditions and stakeholder and public input, proposed improvement projects will be developed.

The plan will include an implementation plan for the proposed improvement projects, including prioritization and funding.

What is the Safe Systems Approach?

CSAPs use the Safe Systems Approach to improve safety. The Safe Systems Approach incorporates the following principles:

Death and Serious Injuries are Unacceptable
A Safe System Approach prioritizes the elimination of crashes that result in death and serious injuries.

Humans Make Mistakes
People will inevitably make mistakes and decisions that can lead or contribute to crashes, but the transportation system can be designed and operated to accommodate certain types and levels of human mistakes and avoid death and serious injuries when a crash occurs.

Humans Are Vulnerable
Human bodies have physical limits for tolerating crash forces before death or serious injury occurs; therefore, it is critical to design and operate a transportation system that is human-centric and accommodates physical human vulnerabilities.

Responsibility is Shared
All stakeholders—including government at all levels, industry, non-profit/advocacy, researchers, and the public—are vital to preventing fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways.

Safety is Proactive
Proactive tools should be used to identify and address safety issues in the transportation system, rather than waiting for crashes to occur and reacting afterwards.

Redundancy is Crucial
Reducing risks requires that all parts of the transportation system be strengthened, so that if one part fails, the other parts still protect people.
