Washington, D.C. — New bipartisan infrastructure law resources are coming to improve pedestrian and driver safety in Georgia thanks to U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock.
Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Warnock are delivering funding through the bipartisan infrastructure law to help local governments create and execute safety action plans aimed at improving road safety and preventing deaths and injuries to drivers and pedestrians. The funds come through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, established by the bipartisan infrastructure law.
Last month, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Warnock delivered additional resources through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program to 12 other cities and counties across the state.
“Through the bipartisan infrastructure law, Senator Warnock and I are delivering upgrades to ensure pedestrian and commuter safety across Georgia,” said Sen. Ossoff. “We will continue delivering infrastructure upgrades across Georgia through this historic bipartisan effort.”
“I am glad to see Georgians continue to benefit from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I was proud to champion. These funds will help to better connect and protect Georgians who use our roads, public transit, and more to get to work, see loved ones, and explore our great state,” said Senator Reverend Warnock. “Senator Ossoff and I will continue to work to deliver even more investments to upgrade our state’s transportation infrastructure so Georgians can have safer communities and stronger connectivity.”
