City sets goal for no traffic-related deaths Pflugerville City Council adopted a resolution May 15 declaring the city’s goal of reaching zero traffic deaths or serious traffic injuries by 2035. The resolution aligns the city’s transportation planning efforts with the federal standards of the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, entitling the city to grant funding.
The overview The purpose of the grant program—a U.S. Department of Transportation initiative—is to improve road safety and reduce roadway serious injuries and fatalities by developing and refining municipalities’ transportation safety action plans, according to city documents. The city of Pflugerville does not have a com- prehensive safety action plan, but approval of the recent application submitted to the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation would help support the development of such a plan.
