Benton County is developing a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Plan focused on improving safety on county roads. This action plan will guide roadway safety strategies throughout Benton County to make our streets and roads safer for everyone, whether you drive, walk, bike, roll, or take transit.

The SS4A Plan will identify a prioritized list of safety improvement projects based on data and stakeholder input. Benton County will prioritize and secure funding for implementing safety projects.

Please visit our website https://www.co.benton.mn.us/871/Safe-Streets-and-Roads-for-All-SS4A to learn more about this program.

Provide your input through our online survey and public comment map ( https://bentoncountyss4a.com/ ) to let us know about your experience across the Benton County roadway network. The survey and comment map are open now and will close in fall of 2026.
