Prince William County Government received a $512,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939) awarded on June 22, 2026, with completion targeted for December 31, 2029. The grant supports the development and implementation of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan titled "Protecting Vulnerable Road Users Through the Advancement of Technology and Education." Deliverables under this award include action plan development, supplemental planning activities, and demonstration projects designed to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries among vulnerable road users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders.
The project encompasses planning, design, and stakeholder engagement activities to inform evidence-based safety strategies and infrastructure improvements across Prince William County. As a competitive SS4A award, the grant represents federal investment in local transportation safety initiatives and requires coordination across county departments, including the Office of Housing & Community Development, to execute grant requirements and compliance obligations through the project completion date.
