1.01 billion road safety package reaches 297 communities

The U.S. Department of Transportation is directing more than $1.01 billion to 297 Safe Streets and Roads for All projects across every state, Puerto Rico and Tribal lands. The awards include approximately $684 million for implementation grants and $329 million for planning and demonstration projects.

The funding will support a wide range of transportation safety initiatives, including intersection upgrades, roadway improvements, truck parking, emergency response investments and local infrastructure planning. More than half of the awards will benefit rural communities, extending the program’s reach beyond major metropolitan areas.

The investment is expected to create new opportunities for engineers, contractors, equipment suppliers and public works agencies involved in project development, construction and long-term maintenance. By supporting both immediate infrastructure improvements and future project planning, the funding aims to strengthen roadway safety, improve transportation reliability and address evolving infrastructure needs nationwide.
