Focusing on road safety in Goodyear
We want to hear from you!
Tell us your experiences regarding road safety in Goodyear. Your input will guide the final Road Safety Action Plan!
Overview
To improve safety for all roadway users (drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, people who use scooters, mobility devices, etc.), the City of Goodyear is developing a Road Safety Action Plan that will have a lasting change on safety culture in these communities.
A Road Safety Action Plan is the foundation of the US Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program and is comprised of multiple components, including an official public commitment, a data-driven safety analysis, public engagement and collaboration, equity considerations, policy/process changes, and strategy and project selection. A Road Safety Action Plan is required to apply for funding through an SS4A Implementation Grant for a specific project.
Ultimately, the plan will identify transportation improvement projects that the City of Goodyear can pursue through various federal, state, regional, and local program to gain funding for implementation.

Project Update
In summer 2025, the City of Goodyear began studying crashes in the city to identify why they were happening and ways to prevent them.
Through the course of this project, the City of Goodyear will develop a high-injury network and hot-spot maps to identify if there is an area where these crashes occur most frequently. In addition to the data analysis, the community will be asked to share their road safety concerns and areas for improvement. The city will ultimately use the community input and data collection to develop strategies to improve road safety in Goodyear. Strategies may focus on various elements, including education and enforcement, speed limit and traffic signal timing changes, adding or improving pedestrian walkways, bike lanes, and center medians.
