The funding with support 354 local projects addressing hazardous intersections
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is distributing $1 billion to 354 local road safety projects through the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program. The department has tracked which road intersections across the country have the highest level of pedestrian deaths every year. This funding will improve pedestrian safety at some of the most dangerous intersections in America, empowering necessary infrastructure upgrades in local communities.
“We should be energized by the fact that together we’ve reduced traffic fatalities for more than two years in a row now – but so much work remains to fully address the crisis on our roads,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Today’s roadway safety grants will deliver funding directly to 354 communities and continue the important work we’re doing to reduce traffic fatalities to the only number that’s acceptable: zero.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Buttigieg and department officials to be prudent in their assessments of transportation projects.
- For the president, vice president, and Cabinet secretaries as they pursue the modernization of infrastructure.
