Kane County Safety Action Plan - Safer Roads for Pedestrians, Cyclists, and High-Risk Areas Across Kane County

The Kane County Safety Action Plan​ (SAP) was developed by the

Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT) in partnership with

the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP). This SAP is a  roadmap for improving traffic safety by reducing the risk of death and serious injury on roads within Kane County, particularly for people walking and biking, and for communities with disproportionately excessive crash rates.

​By combining community experiences and data analysis, the SAP

identified practical actions and innovative solutions to make roads

within Kane County safer for all. KDOT’s commitment to safer roads

is grounded in the fundamental belief that traffic-related deaths and serious injuries are preventable. By the adoption of this proactive, data-driven SAP, KDOT aims to systematically address safety risks and promote a culture of safety across all transportation modes in Kane County.

With the plan now adopted, municipalities within Kane County are eligible to apply for Safe Streets for All (SS4A) implementation funding. The FY 2026 cycle—expected to open in spring 2026—is currently the final round of funding available under existing federal legislation.

CMAP and KDOT are committed to working together to improve traffic safety comprehensively within Kane County to achieve zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050.
