Washington, D.C.— Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced over $817 million in funding for this year’s second round of Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants.
“Today’s funding helps advance 385 projects making roadways across the country safer and more accessible for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers,” Ranking Member Larsen said. “In my district, funding will help Skagit County, the City of Anacortes, and the Lummi Indian Tribal Community develop comprehensive safety action plans that will protect and improve lives. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to create jobs by building cleaner, greener, safer, and more accessible transportation across the country.”
