Paola Transportation Safety Action Plan
The City of Paola is introducing an initiative called Vision Zero to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on our streets. The Safety Action Plan is a proven, successful method of making our streets safer with the goal of eliminating all fatal and serious injury traffic crashes. Endorsed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), more than 1,000 communities across all 50 states have developed or are in the process of developing Safety Action Plans. These plans incorporate proactive, preventative improvements to roadway design and focuses on enhancing safety for all road users.
The Paola Transportation Safety Action Plan Funded by a USDOT grant, the Paola Transportation Safety Action Plan serves as the city’s roadmap to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Using recent crash data from KDOT and public input, the plan will identify high-risk streets, key safety concerns—such as impaired driving or pedestrian safety—and develop targeted strategies. Community engagement is essential, and we encourage residents to share feedback through Quick Polls and the engagement map to help shape safer streets for Paola.
