Transportation Commission Review & Approval

Transportation Commission review and approval is required for requests made through the Safe Streets Madison program. The Transportation Commission considers all program priorities and evaluation criteria when making decisions regarding project prioritization and funding.

  • The Transportation Commission reviewed and approved projects on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
  • The next round of review and approvals is expected in Winter 2024. 

Project Construction 

Staff installing a new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at a crosswalk.

Once a project is approved for funding, an engineer is assigned to prepare detailed construction plans. Depending on the complexity of the project this can take three to twelve months to prepare. Once plans are completed, the project will either be assigned to City staff to construct or may be contracted out to a private construction firm. Typically, a project will be approved one year and built the next year.
