New Safe Streets Funding: Go BIG & Bold Webinar
There are some major funding changes happening for Transportation under the Biden administration in the United States. It’s an opportunity to see how to develop programs at local levels that can also be applied in the Canadian context. This is NOT a “how to apply” session, but how to think about presenting projects for funding and backing.

Significant new funding is available to help local-, regional- and tribal communities advance Vision Zero – safe mobility for all – and it’s encouraging bigger, bolder project ideas. The new Safe Streets & Roads for All (SS4A) federal program will provide $1 billion/year to municipalities, regional governments and tribal communities for their Vision Zero-specific work, including planning and implementation. And it’s incentivizing applicants to move beyond the status quo in their proposals.
In this 75-minute webinar, we’ll highlight ways to leverage this new funding to make meaningful, lasting systems-level safety changes in your community and move past the usual Whack-a-Mole approach. Examples include: moving beyond a typical “planning process” to problem-solve on deeper challenges related to slowing speeds community-wide; bringing an equity & justice framework to your Vision Zero efforts; and going beyond spot improvements to system-wide street changes that embody a Safe System approach.
Join us and Vision Zero leaders from communities around the nation, who will share their experiences and advice, to think BIG.
