Safe Streets & Roads for All
In 2022, ACOG secured a substantial grant of $192,000 through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. This grant underscores the unwavering commitment of ACOG to create roadways that prioritize safety and accessibility for everyone.
The SS4A program, championed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, is dedicated to transforming roads into safer, more accessible spaces for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and beyond. At its core, SS4A is more than just a funding opportunity; it’s a movement that transcends infrastructure to encompass education, awareness, and collaboration.
Program Goals
This program aims to:
-
-
- Enhance Safety: Through strategic improvements, education, and collaboration, SS4A aims to significantly reduce the occurrence of traffic-related fatalities and injuries.
- Promote Inclusivity: SS4A emphasizes the importance of inclusive design, making sure that roads are accessible and safe for individuals of all abilities, ages, and modes of transport.
- Raise Awareness: Beyond physical changes, SS4A seeks to raise awareness about responsible road use. This awareness is vital in encouraging mutual respect among road users and fostering safer habits.
-
As a recipient of the SS4A grant, ACOG is dedicated to implementing impactful projects and initiatives that resonate with the program’s objectives. ACOG efforts are directed not only towards physical improvements but also towards fostering a culture of road safety that extends throughout the community.
