The City of Opa-locka is working toward a Vision Zero goal to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030, and at the same time, it’s committed to improving safe, reliable, sustainable, and fair transportation for everyone. Thanks to a SS4A Action Plan Grant, Opa-locka is creating a set of innovative strategies and actions in its Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) to cut down on transportation-related fatalities and injuries, while also aligning with national safety goals. This plan will pinpoint key safety issues and outline steps to boost safety for all types of travel throughout the city.

The plan will also provide recommendations to improve both vehicle and pedestrian travel in the city’s road network, along with considering land use, public transit, freight, and other local factors to form a thorough action strategy. It will take into account federal and state rules, design standards, and performance goals, aiming for fair outcomes for everyone. The Action Plan will include input from the Opa-locka community and the City’s Vision Zero Taskforce, making sure all voices are heard.
