Safe Streets and Roads for All

Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) is a U.S. Department of Transportation program for regional, local, and tribal roadway safety work. It funds planning and implementation around the National Roadway Safety Strategy and its zero-deaths goal. The FY26 notice was open with about $1 billion available and a deadline of May 26, 2026. Planning and Demonstration grants support safety action plans; Implementation grants pay for projects that carry out an eligible action plan. FY25 awards totaled $982.2 million across 521 communities, and roughly half of that money benefited rural communities. The structure gives applicants a planning-to-implementation ladder that rewards jurisdictions with an existing safety backbone. Eligible applicants are metropolitan planning organizations, political subdivisions such as counties, cities, towns, special districts and certain transit agencies, plus federally recognized tribal governments. The best fit is a public sponsor that can show a serious crash problem, use data to support the response, and move from a planning document into physical or operational changes.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
