Making Renton’s streets safer for all

Published on April 13, 2026

Community input needed: Help identify priorities for safer streets in Renton. Take the survey

The city is creating a Safety Action Plan to guide our investments in street safety. The plan will use data, community insight, and proven strategies to make it safer and easier for everyone to get around–and that means walking, rolling, biking, taking transit, or driving.

Your voice matters. Take the survey! 

Renton residents know local streets best. Your experiences reflect real community needs and help create solutions that work. Here's how to get involved: 

How the Safety Action Plan will improve safety

The plan uses the Safe System Approach, which recognizes everyone is vulnerable in traffic and that mistakes happen. 

In our city, this means designing streets to manage vehicle speeds, increase intersection visibility, and make crosswalks near schools, transit stops, and commercial areas safer. 

The Safety Action Plan will: 

  • Figure out where safety needs to improve using crash data and community input.
  • Put together safer street designs to prevent severe crashes.
  • Teach Renton residents about safe travel choices with outreach, partnerships with local agencies, community groups, and organizations.
  • Strengthen emergency response practices to reduce harm when crashes occur.
