Safe streets and roads for all

The City of Jersey City was awarded a $940,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) program. The grant is intended to improve roadway safety and prevent fatalities and serious injuries across Jersey City's transportation system. Eligible activities include developing a comprehensive safety action plan, conducting data analysis, engaging stakeholders, performing feasibility studies, and implementing infrastructure enhancements for all road users, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators. The award has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2027. As a sub-awardee, the City of Jersey City Hall, operating through its Housing Economic Development and Commerce division, will collaborate on the project and leverage additional federal grants to extend the impact of the roadway safety initiative.
