Glynn Brunswick SS4A Safety Action Plan

The Board of Commissioners of Glynn County, Georgia (“the Owner”) seeks proposals from interested qualified firms experienced in transportation planning and engineering to develop the Glynn County Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan. This project is funded by the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan Grant with Matching Dollars from Glynn County and the City of Brunswick. Therefore, all activities must be performed in strict adherence to applicable federal regulations, and the developed plan must meet the requirements in the FY2024 SS4A Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) including all the details outlined and required in the Program Services section.

Glynn County and the City of Brunswick will develop a Safety Action Plan with the goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries by a certain percentage and date determined by the plan. Area representatives will form a Task force and with the assistance of the selected consultant/moderator will plan meetings and combine public input, data analysis, and statistics into a plan. The Task Force will be charged with also providing input, supervising the implementation and monitoring.

A baseline will be developed from studies of the frequency of crashes, severity of injuries, areas, times, driver ages, law violations, weather conditions, lighting, traffic volume and prevailing types of crashes. A consideration of systemic and specific safety needs will also be performed to employ low cost, high impact strategies that can improve safety.

The Task Force will review and assess road development policies and guidelines, County and City strategies, comprehensive plans, economic development plans and other transportation manuals to identify standards and guidelines to prioritize transportation safety. The Task Force will also be charged with identifying 10 viable projects to submit for implementation via a Safe Streets for All Implementation Grant or other similarly related funding opportunities.

Using local data, best evidence and practices, stakeholder input, and countermeasures that address prevailing crash types, strategies and projects will be developed with a timeline. Prioritization will be given to potential of reducing crash rates and eliminating safety concerns.

The Task Force will report quarterly on Action Plan evaluation data (baseline information, measurement methods and data) to the public via website and local media releases. An annual evaluation will be completed to confirm that safety concerns are addressed.
