Weld County launches Safety Action Plan

Published on March 26, 2025

The Weld County Board of Commissioners is proud to announce the launch of the Weld County Safety Action Plan, a strategic initiative aimed at reducing fatalities and severe injuries across the county’s roadway system. This plan underscores the county’s commitment to enhancing transportation safety for all residents and visitors.

“Our primary goal is to ensure that every resident and visitor can travel safely throughout Weld County,” said Perry Buck, Weld County Commissioner Chair. “The Safety Action Plan represents a collaborative effort, and we encourage community members to actively participate by providing feedback and sharing their insight, which will be helpful in ensuring our roads can meet demand now and in the future.”

In 2023, Weld County received a U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All grant. The Safety Action Plan is based on the Safe System Approach, which focuses on identifying problem areas and implementing data-driven solutions to enhance safety for all road users. Informed by community and stakeholder input, the County’s Safety Action Plan will comprehensively lay out a framework of actionable, measurable and innovative strategies that emphasize design enhancements or improvements. In addition, the plan will include guidance for the responsible parties and the county departments to help implement strategies and policies.

”Safety and efficiency are elements we continually look at and strive for when making improvements to our transportation system," said Curtis Hall, Director of the Weld County Department of Public Works. "The feedback we receive from this Safety Action Plan will strengthen our effort. By residents identifying issues and critical areas through an interactive map or written comments, we can determine effective measures for improvements to make roads safer, with the goal of continuing to work toward reducing serious injuries and fatalities.”

The Safety Action Plan will encompass unincorporated areas of the county and several municipalities, including Dacono, Eaton, Evans, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Gilcrest, Hudson, Keenesburg, LaSalle, Mead, Milliken, Pierce, Platteville and Severance.
