Safe Streets and Roads for All: Applications Are Due SoonThe Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) competitive grant program includes $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Almost $2 billion is still available for future funding rounds.

The program focuses on the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (referred to as an “Action Plan”) and its implementation for all users of our highways, streets, and roadways, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro mobility users, emergency vehicles, and commercial vehicle operators. The program provides funding to develop tools to strengthen a community’s approach to roadway safety, saving lives and prevent serious harm. The SS4A program supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and our goal of zero roadway deaths using a Safe System Approach.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) hosted informational webinars for the FY25 SS4A Grant opportunity.
