Regional Transportation Safety Survey
The Purchase Area Development District is developing a Safety Action Plan for Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall, and McCracken counties. This survey will be combined with crash analysis and local agency review of roadways to identify potential safety issues on county roadways. Once identified, the ADD and local counties will work to identify countermeasures to improve safety. The Safety Action Plan will then direct local forces and funds and pursue additional funding available from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and USDOT.
