The U.S. Department of Transportation has issued $817 million in grants via a third round of funding from its “Safe Streets and Roads for All” or SS4A program. That includes 48 implementation grants focused on safety projects and strategies, along with another 337 grants supporting various project planning activities.
The agency noted in a statement that those SS4A funds seek to help communities develop road safety action plans and improve roadway corridors by implementing effective interventions. Additionally, those funds can be utilized to test out safety features such as separated bicycle lanes or curb extensions at intersections.
USDOT added that its SS4A program – created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or IIJA – sends grants directly to regional, local, and tribal communities for various local level projects aimed at improving roadway safety to help prevent deaths and serious injuries.
