Background: The Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
is a federal grant program which provides funding to county
projects and supports projects that enhance roadway safety,
especially active transportation infrastructure. Project grants
are broken into two types:
Planning and Demonstration Grants: These fund
projects that support local efforts to create Comprehensive
Safety Action Plans, including supplemental safety planning and
demonstration activities to inform an Action Plan.
Implementation Grants: Funding to support
projects or strategies identified in an existing Action Plan.
Webinar: This one-hour webinar session on
Wednesday, March 19 at 11am PT will explore how
EMS agencies can apply for SS4A funding independently or
collaborate with local municipal and regional transportation
partners. Rural communities are especially encouraged to learn
more about the upcoming funding round to address their unique
needs in areas of roadway safety. Attendees will also hear from a
current SS4A award grantee who will share insights and helpful
tips in applying for SS4A grant funds.
