Overview
In 2022 and again in 2024, Timmons Group assisted Chesterfield County with the crafting of application materials to submit for the SS4A grant program. The funding awarded in 2022 allowed Timmons Group to work with the County to create a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan focused on eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Timmons Group supported the County with crash data analysis and created a High-Injury Network to prioritize areas of greatest need. The success of the Action Plan allowed Chesterfield County to pursue supplemental funding through the SS4A program in 2024 to complete road safety audits at top locations around the County. With Timmons Group assistance, the County was successful in receiving over $600,000 in federal funding to pursue safety planning.
The Timmons Group team led a safety summit that brought together multiple departments at the County, including Transportation, Public Safety, Fire/EMS, Police, Risk Management, Planning, Communications, Schools, Social Services, and Community Development and local stakeholders including VDOT, GRTC, Richmond Regional TPO, Tri-Cities MPO, PlanRVA, Drive Smart, and Sports Backers. The wide range of involvement allowed multiple viewpoints to consider recommended improvements and balance infrastructure ideas with policy ideas. Through meetings and interactive tools, Timmons Group helped shape location-specific and systemic recommendations.
