The city of port arthur intends to develop a transportation safety plan within the entire 76.9 square miles of land in the city limits

The City of Port Arthur received a $1.93 million Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) awarded on September 30, 2025. This planning grant funds the development of a comprehensive Transportation Safety Plan covering the entire 76.9 square miles within Port Arthur's city limits, including connections to state and national highways. The project is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2027.

As a planning-phase initiative under the SS4A program, this award supports the City of Port Arthur in conducting planning, design, and development activities necessary to create a data-driven safety action plan. These efforts will likely include stakeholder engagement, safety data analysis, and identification of targeted infrastructure and behavioral strategies to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries across all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists throughout Port Arthur's transportation network.

This includes the connections to the state and national highways within the city limits. IT is a planning grant and is not a phased project.
