WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded 14 Safer Streets for All (SS4A) grants totaling $15,414,000 to 14 communities across Ohio. This funding was included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – legislation that Brown helped write and pass – and will support the development of safety action plans and safety improvements.
“With this investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are working to make Ohio roads safer for the thousands of Ohioans who travel on them each day,” said Brown. “This funding will put in place safety plans that will help to prevent serious accidents and keep pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers safe.”
“I am grateful to the Biden administration, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg, Senator Brown and Congresswoman Beatty and so many of our residents for their support of the Livingston Avenue project,” said Mayor Andrew J. Ginther. “This investment will significantly improve the safety and accessibility of the corridor, businesses and other community assets. It will help Driving Park and the surrounding neighborhoods reconnect with their rich histories and celebrate residents who made significant impacts on American history.”
