The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $699,919.20 to Metroplan, a council of local governments in Arkansas, under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on September 13, 2025. This Project Grant funds the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Central Arkansas, specifically serving Pulaski County. The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan represents one of three core SS4A program activities and will serve as the foundation for identifying roadway safety strategies and projects designed to prevent fatalities and serious injuries on regional roads and streets.

The deliverable from this award is the completed Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, which Metroplan will develop to guide future safety initiatives across the Central Arkansas region. This planning document will document existing safety conditions, identify high-risk areas, and establish prioritized strategies and projects that can be implemented through subsequent SS4A funding or other resources. The award supports the competitive SS4A program established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which has distributed over $970 million across 1,625 grants nationally to regional, local, and Tribal entities pursuing similar roadway safety objectives.
