KPB Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB), with the partner cities Homer, Kenai, Seldovia, Seward and Soldotna, were awarded grant funds to develop a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP).
WHAT IS A CSAP?
A CSAP is a long-term strategy for enhancing the safety of the borough’s roads through a holistic approach to reduce (and eventually prevent) roadway fatalities and serious injuries borough wide. The CSAP will be structured around the Safe System Approach (SSA) National Roadway Safety Strategy developed by the USDOT.
