Washington, D.C. \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today announced Federal grant funding is available to upgrade road safety across Georgia through the bipartisan infrastructure law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant<\/a> program, made possible by the bipartisan infrastructure law, offers funding to local governments and metropolitan planning organizations for local street safety projects through a competitive U.S. Department of Transportation grant process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A broad variety of projects are eligible for grant funding, including projects to protect pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators; and to improve the safety of personal and public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur bipartisan infrastructure law will continue to deliver long-overdue upgrades to Georgia\u2019s infrastructure for years to come,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong> \u201cI encourage Georgia communities to contact me and my office with any questions about this grant opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Planning and Demonstration Grant applications must be submitted prior to the final deadline on August 29, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
