The U.S. Department of Transportation will soon open applications for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, which is intended to enhance safety for various road users. The program, created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allocates $5 billion to fund projects aimed at reducing transportation-related fatalities. However, recent indications from the Department cast doubt on the commitment to prioritize vulnerable users, as a memo has surfaced that suggests a reconsideration of prior funding, particularly for projects that emphasize equity and sustainability, leading to advocacy concerns about future project support.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's recent memo raises concerns about funding for equity-focused projects, signaling potential changes that threaten prior grants aimed at sustainable transportation.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All program is set to begin accepting applications soon, with its $5 billion funding aimed at reducing transportation-related fatalities for key road users.
