December 14, 2023 Looking ahead: safety action plans in northeastern Illinois The Safe Travel for All Roadmap (STAR) is taking an exciting next step — safety action planning efforts will kick off in early 2024. Six counties in the region (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will) will develop safety action plans as part of STAR. The plans will identify context-specific strategies to improve roadway safety for all users, particularly for people walking, biking, or using a wheelchair. STAR is implemented by CMAP and is primarily funded by a $4 million federal Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, with additional funding support from the Illinois Department of Transportation and county partners.
