Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project
The Milwaukee County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has launched a new safety initiative. The Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project is an effort to increase multimodal safety and address reckless driving across all 19 municipalities in Milwaukee County. With support from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and as part of the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, Milwaukee County is working collaboratively with municipal leaders across the County to develop a comprehensive, data-driven, countywide plan. Sixteen of Milwaukee County’s 19 municipalities have signed letters of support for this important effort.
Reckless driving has reached crisis levels in Milwaukee County. Our pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and drivers demand and deserve an effective plan to increase multimodal safety. Milwaukee County's vision to be the healthiest county in Wisconsin by achieving racial equity cannot be achieved without taking a new approach to transportation safety, addressing the root causes of reckless driving, and protecting our most vulnerable roadway users. The planning process and resulting plan will use an equity lens to center communities of color who often experience the greatest harm.
The project will include several phases and deliverables:
- Safe Streets Roadshow (a series of 20 public engagement meetings across Milwaukee County)
- Public Advisory Committee (community leaders, advocates and non-profits)
- Safety Working Group (industry leaders and professionals)
- Transportation Safety Assessment Report for Milwaukee County
- Development of a countywide Safe Streets Action Plan
- Development of participating Milwaukee County municipalities individual Safe Streets Action Plans
Phase one of the project is expected to conclude in late 2024.
