FISCAL IMPACT
$50,000 Gas Tax funds (Fund 30) and a $200,000 SS4A federal planning grant supported the SS4A Safety Action Plan preparation and development. The City must adopt the Safety Action Plan by June 30, 2026 to avoid forfeiture of the federal grant funds and require the City to cover those costs.
The Resolution would allow the City to seek future SS4A grant funds to implement and support the recommended report projects upon grant approvals. Staff would program any local matching funds as part of the applicable fiscal year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Safe Streets and Roads for All program is a federal program funding traffic safety Planning Grants (such action plan development) and Implementation Grants to prevent roadway fatality and serious injury collisions. Planning Grants provide funding to develop, complete or supplement a comprehensive safety Action Plan with goals to develop holistic, well-defined traffic safety strategies. Implementation Grants provide funds to implement projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan. SS4A requires an eligible Action Plan in place before applying for Implementation Grants.
Fullerton submitted a Planning Grant application to fund the City Action Plan development on September 14, 2022. The Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program selected the City as a grant recipient on February 7, 2023.
An Action Plan would give the City a foundation to implement low-cost, high-impact strategies to improve safety over a wide geographic area, including disadvantaged communities. Staff will develop an Action Plan that mitigates fatality and severe injury collisions through proven and innovative means in-line with public expectations. The Action Plan utilizes citywide collision data and claims history to identify safety needs throughout the City.
Public Works Department would conduct community and stakeholder engagement to provide input on the data-driven needs and recommendations City staff and consultant, KOA (a Lochner Company), began preparing the SS4A Safety Action Plan in May 2024. The Safety Action Plan identifies safety needs throughout the City based on information from the Fullerton General Plan, the Bicycle Master Plan, the Local Roadway Safety Plan, the Downtown Fullerton on the GO Active Transportation Plan, OCTA Long Range Transportation Plan, OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways, OC Active Report, citywide collision data and claims history. Staff also hosted public meetings to gather input from the public.

The Active Transportation Committee reviewed the draft Action Plan on April 15, 2026. The Committee gave positive feedback and unanimous support. The Infrastructure and Natural Resources Advisory Committee reviewed the draft Action Plan on April 20, 2026. The Committee gave positive feedback and unanimous support.
