Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) announced $200,000 in funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for Erie’s Safe Streets for All program established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This funding will enable Erie to develop a safety action plan to address the safety concerns of motorists, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
“When we passed legislation to rebuild and revitalize our Nation’s crumbling infrastructure, we also made sure to include funding that will make transportation safer,” Senator Casey said, “This $200,000 grant is a much-needed investment that will allow Erie to envision how it can make its streets safer for residents and all those visiting Northwestern Pennsylvania.”
The Infrastructure Law established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over the next 5 years. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
