FREMONT, NE – The City of Fremont is proud to announce the official launch of Safe Streets 4 Fremont – Here We Grow, Safely We Go Together, a major step toward creating safer, more accessible streets, sidewalks, trails, and highways for everyone in the community.
As part of the project launch, the City invites all residents, workers, students, and visitors to participate in a public survey and share their thoughts on where and how Fremont’s streets can be made safer. Community input will play a critical role in shaping the priorities and strategies developed throughout the project.

This community driven initiative emphasizes the City’s dedication to eliminating fatal crashes and reducing serious injuries for all users, whether walking, biking, or driving. The project is rooted in a shared vision of creating a culture of street safety throughout the entire community of Fremont.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, the City of Fremont was awarded a federal grant in fall 2024 to support this work. In May 2025, the project officially launched with its first Advisory Team meeting, bringing together representatives from Fremont Public Schools, Fremont Police Department, Fremont Beef Company, Heartland Workers Center, FEVR Rails to Trails Foundation, and the City of Fremont.
