Summary:
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Office of Safety awarded the City of Olathe a grant through the Safe Street and Roads for All Grant Project. This program is in place to provide funds to develop, complete, or supplement a comprehensive Safety Action Plan. The goal of a Safety Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality. This plan will act as a method to prioritize safety improvements and justify investment decisions along with increasing access to funding opportunities.
A Safety Action Plan for Olathe was recently completed, and a presentation on the Plan was provided at the August 5, 2025, City Council Meeting. This Resolution will formally approve the Safety Action Plan.
