Save Safe Streets and Roads for All Funding
The #Senate has a chance to protect funding for #bike lanes and safer roads. They need to hear from you.
This week, the Senate will be voting on a short-term extension of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Critically, this proposed extension strips out funding for a key program created in the IIJA: the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.
#SS4A has made $5 billion over five years directly available to local communities who want to plan for and build safer roads for people walking, #biking, taking transit, and driving. Thanks to its success as a program, the BUILD American 250 Act, the next transportation reauthorization bill proposed by the House, includes continuing SS4A.
Tell your senators: the continuing resolution must include continued funding for SS4A. Without it, communities will not be able to access critical funding to build safer roads.
