Safe streets and roads for all planning grant for the city of fowler, CA

The City of Fowler, California received a $120,000 Planning Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939), awarded on September 10, 2025. This three-year project, scheduled for completion by September 10, 2028, will fund the development of a comprehensive safety action plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries within the city. The grant supports planning and design activities including data analysis, stakeholder engagement, feasibility studies, and the identification of targeted safety strategies benefiting all road users—pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.

As an eligible political subdivision of a state, the City of Fowler will utilize this funding to conduct the foundational planning work required under the SS4A program prior to potential infrastructure implementation projects. The deliverables will include actionable safety recommendations and strategic initiatives tailored to address transportation safety challenges specific to Fowler's roadway network. This planning grant aligns with the city's demonstrated commitment to transportation infrastructure improvement, as evidenced by its history of successfully managing federally-funded transportation projects administered through the California Department of Transportation.
