Funding from Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program, created by the infrastructure law
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) announced $160,000 in federal funding for the Borough of Lewisburg to develop a comprehensive action plan to make the borough’s roads safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
“The infrastructure law is making our communities safer by funding long-overdue safety projects in communities across the Commonwealth,” said Senator Casey. “This award will help Lewisburg create a comprehensive plan to reduce fatal crashes and make some of the busiest traffic corridors in Lewisburg safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.”
“The bottom line is that we are facing a street safety crisis in America — and in Pennsylvania. The thousands of lives we lose due to unsafe streets is unacceptable, and it’s long past time we in Washington do something about it,” said Senator Fetterman. “This funding will provide Lewisburg with the resources they need to make streets safer for everyone on the roads."
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant is funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which Senator Casey fought to pass.
