The Greater Egypt Regional Planning and Development Commission (Greater Egypt) is supporting efforts to develop Comprehensive Safety Action Plans (CSAP) for the Franklin, Jefferson, and Perry counties in Illinois. Each CSAP is aimed at reducing and eliminating serious-injury and fatal crashes affecting all roadway users on all public roads. The CSAP will include Franklin, Jefferson, and Perry counties and the communities within these three counties.

 

Key safety stakeholders have been selected to serve on a safety committee due to the significant role they and/or their agency/organization have in improving traffic safety and ultimately, reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries. The safety committee will include representatives of engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency medical services. By serving on the safety committee, they will help ensure that we reach all stakeholders in this region and better understand their safety concerns and challenges.  Additionally, outreach efforts to stakeholders within the area will include the opportunity to take part in a safety survey during the plan process.

 

The Franklin, Jefferson, and Perry county region CSAP, along with several other CSAPs throughout the state, is being funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The plans will be developed in accordance with the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding program, making Greater Egypt and the local agencies eligible for future funding through the SS4A and other state and federal funding programs. The plan will be developed with the leadership of a consultant team alongside Greater Egypt, the safety committee, and a broader group of stakeholders.
