The City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania was awarded a $6,190,155 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) federal grant program. The grant will support the implementation of safety countermeasures along Lancaster's high-injury network to address severe and fatal crashes involving speeding, aggressive driving, and intersection crashes. Key project elements include installing crosswalk upgrades, roadway lighting, signal improvements, leading pedestrian indicators, and no turn on red signs; implementing safety projects at schools; restoring one-way streets to two-way; conducting red light and speeding enforcement; and performing walk audits.
