The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Metropolitan Area Planning Council $3.792 million on March 3, 2026, under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939) to conduct three-phase supplemental planning activities and design demonstration projects targeting high-crash and high-risk roadway locations in partnership with municipalities across the Boston region. The recipient will implement and test demonstration projects in the Boston metropolitan area, with performance extending through March 3, 2030. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council, a regional planning commission serving 101 municipalities in the Boston area, will lead the planning and demonstration work as a Project Grant recipient. This award funds planning, design, and development activities under the SS4A program, which supports regional initiatives to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries through comprehensive safety action plans and implementation projects.

The demonstration projects will be implemented and tested to address known high crash and high-risk locations.
