WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced $172 million in grants to 257 communities through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program created in President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This is the third and final round of 2024 awards that will be announced this year through the community-guided grant program, which is a key component of the National Roadway Safety Strategy.
The funding announced today will go directly to 257 local, regional, and Tribal communities for planning and demonstration projects that will help prevent deaths and serious injuries on America’s rural and urban roads, including some of the most dangerous roads in the country— making communities more walkable and connected.
