Mandating 20% Funding for Safe Streets and Roads Planning Grants

This Act modifies the 'Safe Streets and Roads for All' program by requiring that at least 20% of its annual funding be dedicated specifically to planning grants, starting in fiscal year 2024. This ensures more local communities receive necessary funds to develop comprehensive strategies and designs for safer roads before construction begins. The goal is to promote better-planned infrastructure projects that effectively reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.
Key points
Minimum 20% of 'Safe Streets' program funds must now be allocated to planning grants (starting FY 2024).
Increased financial support for local governments to conduct initial studies and strategies for safer streets.
