The Town of Whitestown has received a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for $80,000.

The planning grant will be used to create a roadway safety plan. The completion date will be the fall of 2024.

The Town of Whitestown is part of 385 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants that total $817 million from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. “The grants go directly to regional, local, and Tribal communities for implementation, planning, and demonstration projects driven at the local level to improve safety and help prevent deaths and serious injuries on the nation’s roadways,” said the U.S. Department of Transportation. The funds awarded are to help prevent the crisis of deaths on the nation’s roads through safer people, roads, vehicles, appropriate vehicle speed, and improve post-crash care.
