Nearly $1B Announced for Updated Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program to Improve Road Safety
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced a new opportunity for cities, towns, counties, Tribal governments and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to apply for funding available through the updated Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.
“This is another great step in our Department’s work to refocus on what the American people care about: safety. DEI and environmental justice requirements for the Safe Streets program weren’t just unnecessary – they were bogging down the system and preventing money from going out to where it’s needed. I’m pleased with the Department’s effort to update this important program and encourage communities across the country to apply for this funding to reduce road fatalities and make our roads safe again,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.
According to the USDOT, The SS4A program supports communities in both planning and carrying out projects that help reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on our highways, streets, and roads. Over $982 million is made available by this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and a similar amount is expected to be available next year in a future funding round.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All Notice of Funding Opportunity can be found at https://www.transportation.gov/grants/SS4A. Applications are due by June 26, 2025.
