51 projects in the state will benefit from this funding aiming to improve road safety
The state of California will receive more than $152 million through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program. In a recent press release, California Senator Alex Padilla revealed that 51 projects in the state will benefit from this funding, provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which aims to improve road safety and prevent deaths and serious injuries on the roads.
The SS4A program supports regional, local and tribal initiatives to promote road safety through grant funding. Padilla stressed the importance of these improvements, noting that the citizens of California depend on these improvements to make the state’s roadways safe. He added that the funding will help “make our streets and roads safer for the millions of pedestrians, bicyclists and commuters who rely on them every day.”
