Safe Streets for All (SS4A) creates a Safety Action Plan that identifies areas of transportation-related safety concern, develops and prioritizes projects to address those areas of concern, and will be used in the future to pursue federal grant monies. The Town of Elizabethtown received a grant from the US Department of Transportation in 2023 to develop the plan.

CTL Engineering and AECOM are the consultants on this project.
