Reducing Crashes in Cuyahoga County

Grant money aims to help make streets safer

The Cuyahoga County Planning Commission and county received $600,000 in a Safe Streets & Roads for All grant, meant to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to make the county’s streets safer and reduce the amount of traffic fatalities. 

The grant money, which comes from the federal government, will be used to hire a consultant to help develop the Cuyahoga County Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, which will use input from community members as well as data to understand where high priority areas are and what community members would like to see to improve road safety in their neighborhoods.

Once the plan is completed, communities in the county will be able to apply for federal funds to implement safety measures, said Mary Cierbiej, executive director of the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission.
