Between 2015 and 2024, there were 1,965 traffic collisions in unincorporated Yolo County ( not including freeways,  such as I-5, I-80, and I-505) that resulted in 415 injuries and 104 deaths, meaning that if you were involved in a collision during this period, there was a 5.2% chance it resulted in a fatality. To address this, Yolo County is developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP).

A CSAP is a data‑driven, community‑informed plan that outlines strategies to systemically reduce traffic‑related deaths and serious injuries and make streets safer for everyone. This effort is guided by Vision Zero, which is the shared belief that no loss of life on our roadways is acceptable and that transportation systems should be designed to protect all users, especially those who are most at risk, such as those that walk and bike, children, seniors, and disadvantaged communities. The plan will examine traffic safety conditions across the county’s roadway network, identify high‑risk locations, and recommend appropriate projects, programs, and actions to move the County toward a safer transportation system.

The Yolo County CSAP is funded through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, which emphasizes meaningful community engagement and equity‑focused decision‑making. Plan development is expected to begin in early 2026, with community and stakeholder engagement activities taking place in spring 2026. The final plan is anticipated to be adopted by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors in late 2026.
