Transportation Safety Action Plan

The County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County received a planning grant in the amount of $280,000 from the United States Department of Transportation under the Safe Streets for All grant program. The purpose of the grant is to engage a firm to develop a robust multimodal comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) that is appropriate to the size and scale of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, and to improve transportation safety, reduce crashes, and identify projects that would improve highway safety.

The County intends to allocate up to $280,000 to hire a qualified firm, experienced in working with a county jurisdiction of the same size and characteristics as Queen Anne’s County, to provide professional services to create a TSAP. The County is requesting firms to propose a detailed and comprehensive approach to creating a Countywide Plan which, among other things, reviews available crash data, identifies crash hotspots, evaluates the potential causes of crashes, and provides site-specific recommendations that would improve highway safety and reduce the frequency and severity of crashes on State Highways, County Roads, Municipal Roads and Bike & Pedestrian facilities.
