As the forum for countywide decision-makers in Sacramento County, the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) develops plans and strategies to align transportation priorities with funding at the local, regional, state, and federal levels. These efforts aim to assist partner agencies in maximizing existing funding, advocating for transportation priorities, and positioning these priorities for additional funding opportunities.

Countywide Safety Action Plan

The Countywide Safety Action Plan, initiated by the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA), seeks to bolster local safety efforts by aligning with national funding opportunities. In May 2024, the STA Governing Board authorized the submission of a grant application to the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, aimed at funding the development of a Countywide Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. On November 15, 2024, STA received notice that our grant application was selected for a $1 Million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

This Safety Action Plan is designed to assist local agencies, especially those without an existing safety framework, in applying for SS4A implementation grants. Moreover, it will serve as a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) under the Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), ensuring eligibility for that program as well. The comprehensive approach taken in this plan will strengthen efforts to secure grant funding for future projects, both on local and regional corridors, and will offer strategic insights for developing future transportation initiatives.

By aligning with SS4A and HSIP, this initiative is positioned to significantly enhance road safety across Sacramento County while also securing critical funding to support these efforts.

2023 Regional Pavement Analysis

STA completed a regional pavement analysis and presented this analysis to the STA Governing board in June 2024. The analysis, documented the current pavement condition, policies, and practices at a local and regional level, quantified regional pavement maintenance needs over thirty years, and will help inform future funding and policy decisions on transportation.
