Neighborhood-Initiated Safety Partnership Program
Safer streets together!
Updated October, 2026
The Neighborhood-Initiated Safety Partnership Program is funded by the 2024 Transportation Levy. We deliver safety projects across Seattle shaped by community input, with a focus on neighborhoods with the greatest needs.
These projects reflect community feedback gathered through outreach for the Seattle Transportation Plan, Home Zones, Safe Routes to School, New Sidewalks and Walkways, and other engagement efforts.
SDOT staff attended community walks to hear residents' concerns and ideas for new projects.
We choose projects based on equity, safety, and where sidewalks are missing, and we prioritized ones that could be built within one to two years. These safety improvements will connect to new sidewalks, schools, parks, and bus stops.
Stay tuned for updates as we gather future project ideas. We look forward to working with you to build safety improvements across Seattle.
