The Haines Borough of Alaska received a $198,768 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939), awarded on September 8, 2025, with a completion date of March 8, 2028. This competitive grant supports the development of a comprehensive "Haines Borough & Chilkoot Indian Association Safety Action Plan" designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries within the Haines community. The project encompasses planning and design activities, stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and the identification of targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety strategies to benefit all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

The SS4A program, established through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides funding to eligible local governments, tribal entities, and metropolitan planning organizations to develop safety action plans and implement infrastructure improvements. As a planning-phase initiative, this award enables Haines Borough to conduct the foundational work necessary to create a data-driven, community-informed safety strategy that will serve as the basis for future transportation safety improvements and potential implementation projects in the region.
