Yalobusha County began preparing a comprehensive Safety Action Plan (SAP) in September, 2024. The purpose of the SAP is to develop a well-defined strategy to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries throughout Yalobusha County, including Oakland, Coffeeville, and Water Valley.
The SAP analyzes crash data between 2019 and 2023 to identify safety needs. The SAP identifies high risk crash locations, factors contributing to crashes, and prioritizes strategies and projects to address identified safety concerns.
The SAP also relies heavily on citizen input to identify locations and safety priorities throughout the County. Please add your voice to the planning process by completing this survey!
Yalobusha County was awarded funding to prepare the SAP through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. The program was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to fund improvements and strategies to prevent fatalities and serious injuries for all roadway users. The program aims to support the U.S. Department of Transportation’s goal of zero roadway deaths through the implementation of the Safe System Approach to roadway safety.
