The City of Fairmont, West Virginia received a $180,000 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on March 2, 2026, under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939). This planning grant, with a completion date of October 30, 2028, supports the development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries within Fairmont. The grant funds planning activities, data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and the identification of targeted safety strategies and infrastructure improvements that address transportation safety for all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators.

As a local government entity with demonstrated experience managing federal grant-funded community development and infrastructure projects, the City of Fairmont will utilize this funding to conduct comprehensive transportation safety planning and analysis specific to local roadway conditions and community needs. The planning deliverables will establish the foundation for potential future implementation of safety improvements and infrastructure enhancements identified through the planning process, consistent with the broader objectives of the SS4A program to reduce transportation-related accidents and fatalities in communities across the United States.
