The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. Almost $2 billion is still available for future funding rounds.
The SS4A program supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) National Roadway Safety Strategy and our goal of zero roadway deaths using a Safe System Approach.
The fiscal year (FY) 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the SS4A program is expected to be released before the end of March 2025.
In 2022 and 2023, the Kansas Department of Transportation's SS4A Match Pilot Program covered a proportion of the local match requirements. In 2024, the Build Kansas Fund provided $1,407,500 in state funds to cover all or part of the local match. To learn more about applying for Build Kansas Funds for SS4A, view the Application Webinar and webinar presentation to learn more.
To date, Kansas applicants have been awarded over $21.1 million from the U.S. DOT and over $4.3 million from state funds to improve safety on local roads: Kansas SS4A Recipients or the map below for more details.
