I am urging communities across the 18^th Assembly District of New York to apply for a major federal grant program to help save lives and reduce serious injuries on our roads on Long Island. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program awards direct federal funding to counties, towns, villages and cities to help develop and implement comprehensive action plans to improve local roadway safety. The program awards grants of between $100,000 to $25 million each. You may find the notice of funding opportunity NOFO) here. 

DOT will accept applications for this grant opportunity until 5:00 PM (EDT) on June 26, 2025. To apply for an Implementation Grant, use this link; to apply for a Planning and Demonstration Grant, use this one.You can find more information on DOT’s websiteor by emailing the agency at SS4A@dot.gov. 

I am proud to represent Long Island on the New York State Assembly Transportation Committee and I’d like to commend my colleagues in government working at the Federal level for ensuring this information was distributed so that we continue to make our local communities a better place. Please do not hesitate to contact my office at (516) 489-6610 or burroughsn@nyassembly.gov if you have any questions, comments or concerns!
