On October 3, 2024, the Pocatello City Council adopted the City’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan by resolution. The SS4A Action Plan will work toward eliminating all killed and serious injury (KSI) crashes that occur on the City’s roadway network through a series of goals and strategies. This SS4A Plan emphasizes a shift towards the prioritization of safe, accessible, and equitable mobility for all roadway users and away from the disproportionate focus on moving vehicles efficiently—less delay that often results in higher speeds. The purpose of this SS4A Plan is to establish achievable goals that will result in zero roadway fatalities through infrastructure, outreach, and education for all roadway users, including vehicles and pedestrians. Plan goals include:

1. Goal of zero pedestrian deaths in the next 12 months.
2. Reduce the number of severe roadway departure crashes 50% by 2035.
3. Improve 25% of eligible roadways to a complete streets model by 2035.
4. Reduce aggressive driving incidents 25% by 2035 in accordance with the Idaho State Highway Safety Plan.
5. Improve eligible pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure 30% by 2035.
6. Reduce the 5-year average number of distracted driving serious injury crashes.
