The City of Lake Charles is developing a safety action plan as a part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All Program (SS4A). The goal of the plan is to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes.

The recommendations of the plan will allow the City to pursue SS4A implementation funds and other applicable funding sources to implement roadway safety projects and programs.

Vision Zero is a goal to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all by implementing safer road systems that protect all road users. The Safe System Approach, adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), provides a strategy to reach Vision Zero. This is a shift from a conventional approach because it focuses on both human mistakes AND human vulnerability to design a system with redundancies in place to protect everyone.
