Philadelphia Vision Zero Capital Plan Implementation Project Summary

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the City of Philadelphia $3.69 million under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) on June 3, 2026, to implement traffic safety improvements along priority Vision Zero corridors disproportionately impacted by traffic crashes. The five-year project, scheduled for completion by June 3, 2031, represents an implementation grant under the SS4A program, which funds local and regional initiatives to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. As a political subdivision eligible under the program, Philadelphia will deliver targeted infrastructure and safety enhancements designed to reduce traffic-related deaths and severe injuries across identified high-crash corridors.

The award supports the City of Philadelphia's Vision Zero strategy through capital improvements and infrastructure interventions on corridors experiencing elevated crash rates and equity concerns. Under the SS4A program framework, this implementation project builds upon comprehensive safety action planning to deliver concrete roadway modifications, behavioral safety strategies, and infrastructure enhancements benefiting all road users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The project reflects the Federal Highway Administration's commitment to supporting municipal governments in executing evidence-based safety initiatives that address disproportionate traffic safety impacts in vulnerable communities.
