Huntersville Safety Action Plan

Huntersville Safety Action Plan

The Town of Huntersville is developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan that evaluates safety for people walking/rolling, biking, taking transit, and driving throughout the entire town. The ultimate goal is to eliminate serious-injury and deadly crashes for all roadway users in the Town. It is funded through a federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Grant, and we’d love for you to be part of it. As part of the process, key factors contributing to serious accidents and injuries on Huntersville's roads will be identified and recommendations will be developed for infrastructure projects and policies to address key factors. By completing and adopting a Huntersville Safety Action Plan, we’ll also become eligible for future grant funding to implement these improvements.

Project Overview

Project Overview

What is a Safety Action Plan?

A Safety Action Plan uses federal financial support for planning and infrastructure initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets involving all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, micromobility users, commercial vehicle operators, and motorists.

What is a Safety Action Plan's Purpose?

  • To identify high crash locations
  • To engage with the community to receive their input and direction
  • Recommend intersections and roadway segments that could be modified in accordance with the Vision Zero Program

What areas will the study cover?

The study covers all of Huntersville including the extraterritoral jurisdiction (ETJ). A map of the study area is available at the bottom of this page.

How can my voice be heard?

There will be two phases of public engagement during the study. The first, focused on listening to the community, will help the Project Team learn about problem areas and concerns within the study area. The second phase of engagement is currently occurring and is focused on presenting recommendations to the community to gain support. The second public open house occurred on Thursday, October 29, 2026 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Huntersville Recreation Center.
