Program Overview
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) competitive grant program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Almost $2 billion is still available for future funding rounds.
The SS4A program supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Roadway Safety Strategy and our goal of zero roadway deaths using a Safe System Approach.
Combining the FY22, FY23, and FY24 awards to date, SS4A has provided $2.9 billion in Federal funding to over 1,600 communities in all 50 States and Puerto Rico. Through this important funding source, USDOT is empowering Tribal, local, and regional efforts to save lives and reduce serious injuries on our roadways.

Grant Types
A comprehensive safety action plan (referred to as an “Action Plan”) is a plan to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality or region or on Tribal land. Action Plans are the foundation of the SS4A grant program.
The SS4A program provides funding for two main types of grants: Planning and Demonstration Grants for Action Plans, including supplemental safety planning and/or safety demonstration activities, and Implementation Grants.
Learn more about these grant types in the brief descriptions below and see the following pages for more details:
- Eligible Uses of SS4A Funding
- Comprehensive Safety Action Plans
- Planning and Demonstration Activities
- Implementation Grants
Planning and Demonstration Grants
Planning and Demonstration Grants are used to develop, complete, or supplement an Action Plan.
Planning and Demonstration Grants also fund supplemental safety planning activities and safety demonstration activities in support of an Action Plan.
Implementation Grants
Implementation Grants are used to implement projects or strategies that are consistent with an existing Action Plan to address a roadway safety problem. Eligible projects and strategies can be infrastructural, behavioral, and/or operational activities.
Implementation Grants may also include supplemental safety planning and safety demonstration activities to inform an existing Action Plan, and project-level planning, design, and development activities.
Applicants must have an eligible Action Plan to apply for an Implementation Grant.
Potential applicants may submit their Action Plan(s) for pre-application review so that USDOT may affirm their eligibility to apply for an Implementation Grant.
