Weld County Safety Action Plan
Project Overview
Weld County’s transportation system is one of the most extensive in Colorado, encompassing roadways that connect rural communities, thriving agricultural areas, energy production sites, and rapidly growing urban centers. As the county continues to experience significant growth in population and economic activity, travel volumes are increasing, bringing new challenges to maintaining safety and mobility.
The Weld County Safety Action Plan establishes a framework for improving roadway safety across Weld County. This proactive plan identifies where and why serious and fatal crashes occur, and it outlines strategies to make our transportation network safer for all users.
The Weld County Safety Action Plan is based on the Safe System Approach, which follows several guiding principles to provide a holistic safety approach to all forms of transportation. The Weld County Safety Action Plan identifies problem areas on roadways throughout Weld County’s transportation system and provides information that can help Civil Engineers, Transportation Planners, and other officials determine needed improvements, with the aim of enhancing safety for all users.
The Safety Action Plan responds to these challenges by applying a data-driven, systemwide approach that prioritizes the most effective investments in infrastructure. In addition to guiding local safety investments, the Safety Action Plan positions Weld County and its partner jurisdictions to compete for federal funding through programs such as the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. These funds can help implement projects identified in the plan, such as corridor safety improvements, rural roadway upgrades, and intersection redesigns.
This plan, led by Weld County includes the unincorporated area of the county and several municipalities (Dacono, Eaton, Evans, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Gilcrest, Hudson, Keenesburg, LaSalle, Mead, Milliken, Pierce, Platteville, and Severance).
The Weld County Safety Action Plan was developed following Weld County's acceptance of a $400,000 Safe Streets for and Roads for All (SS4A) grant in 2023.
