2023 Federal SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) Grant
On Febuary 1, 2023, the Lucas County Engineer's Office was selected as one of 510 recipients across the country, for a $400,000 grant, part of the new federal Safe Streets and Roads for All Program (SS4A). The grant allows for preparation of a Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP), which will identify measures and locations to make our transportation system safer in northwest Ohio.
The TSAP can then be used to apply next year for an implementation grant for those projects that are identified in the plan.
The competitive grant program was established by President Biden's historic bipartisan infrastructure bill which provides $5 billion over five years for regional and local authorities to invest in safety improvement projects and planning that will prevent deaths and serious injuries on the nation's roadways.
