The Federal Highway Administration awarded the City of Chico $400,000 on June 29, 2026, under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (CFDA 20.939) program to support roadway safety planning and implementation in Butte County, California. The grant funds development and refinement of safety action plans addressing all road users—pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators—with the objective of reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Performance runs through June 28, 2029. The City of Chico's Housing and Neighbor Services Department, working in coordination with the Chico Fire Department, is the recipient. SS4A grants support eligible applicants including cities, counties, metropolitan planning organizations, and tribal governments in developing comprehensive safety action plans and implementing projects and strategies identified within those plans.

The purpose of SS4A grants is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and refinement and implementation focused on all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. The program provides funding to develop the tools to help strengthen a communitys approach to roadway safety and save lives and is designed to meet the needs of diverse local, tribal, and regional communities that differ dramatically in size, location, and experience administering federal funding.
