What is the plan?

The City and the Greensboro Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) were awarded a federal Department of Transportation grant of $755,500 to develop this safety plan for Greensboro, the towns of Summerfield, Sedalia, Oak Ridge, Pleasant Garden and Stokesdale, and much of unincorporated Guilford County. 

The MPO will use the funding to conduct a detailed study of traffic crashes and safety conditions in the MPO area. Working with the NC Department of Transportation and area jurisdictions, the MPO will develop a comprehensive plan for preventing traffic fatalities and serious injuries by:

• Using the Safe System Approach for roadways where needed
• Educating people about traffic safety
• Enacting safety focused policies, among other strategies.

This work will build off of and expand partnerships and work completed by Vision Zero Greensboro and the current Vision Zero Greensboro Action Plan.
