The goal is to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. It started with an $800,000 federal grant to study, analyze and identify problem areas and address needs through a regional safety action plan.
Yuba and Sutter counties, along with the cities of Yuba City, Marysville, Wheatland and Live Oak, are all collaborating on the regional safety action plan. By working together, they can better leverage grant funding for future projects.
As part of one federal grant, a comprehensive study from 2018 to 2023 found that across the Yuba-Sutter region, there were 5,362 injury crashes. Of those, 886 resulted in death or severe injury.
The combined Yuba-Sutter roadway fatality rate is more than 60% higher than the national average. In 2023, the California Office of Traffic Safety ranked Sutter County ninth and Yuba County eighth for injury collisions out of the state's 58 counties, placing the region among the highest in the state for fatal and injury crashes.
The regional safety action plan identifies problem areas and offers potential solutions, including things like signaling, roundabouts and pedestrian and bike paths.
Yuba County and Yuba City have approved the plan. The other agencies will be voting over the next few weeks.
