Acceptance of Safer Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan Grant and Approval of PSRC Subaward Agreement
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
In 2022, staff submitted a grant application for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) federal discretionary program. Through the application process, the City was requested by USDOT to combine its application with the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), Pierce County, and the cities of Burien, Everett, Kent, and Tukwila. PSRC will coordinate the work and serve as the lead applicant developing a Regional Safety Plan while each jurisdiction will develop detailed localized Safety Action Plans. As one consolidated application, the Safety Action Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region was selected for award from the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) FY22 Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan. Staff is seeking approval for the City to accept the subaward agreement with the PSRC of $160,000 for the Redmond portion of the SS4A Action Plan Grant. PSRC has the overarching agreement with FHWA. Approval of this subaward agreement with the PSRC will provide funding for the city to hire a consultant to conduct community outreach and develop a Safety Action Plan.
