The City of Avondale received a $400,000 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on September 10, 2025. This award supports the development of a comprehensive Safety Action Plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries within Avondale, Arizona. The grant funds will enable the city to conduct planning activities, stakeholder engagement, and data analysis to inform evidence-based safety strategies benefiting all road users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

In addition to the planning component, the city will implement low-cost demonstration activities that pilot targeted infrastructure and behavioral safety interventions identified through the safety planning process. The three-year project, with a completion date of September 10, 2028, reflects the SS4A program's focus on competitive funding for local initiatives that develop actionable safety plans and implement demonstration projects to reduce transportation-related deaths and serious injuries.
