TARCOG recently completed and adopted a Regional Safety Action Plan for the non-urbanized areas of Northeast Alabama utilizing Safe Streets for All (SS4A) funding. The areas covered in this plan include all of DeKalb, Jackson, and Marshall counties, as well as the areas of Limestone and Madison counties outside of the Huntsville Urbanized Area. Because of this, all municipalities and counties in this area are now eligible to apply SS4A implementation grant funding to address safety improvements identified in the plan. Grant applications for this round of funding are due by June 26th of this year.
The final Regional Safety Action Plan document can be found here.
As with any grant, TARCOG offers technical assistance free of charge for any municipality or county within the TARCOG region for any grant application. If you wish to apply for this funding, please review the links below for more information about the projects eligible for funding and what all is required in order to apply. The TARCOG team is also available to help answer any questions you may have.
