Miami-Dade County to receive $20.4 million through Safe Streets for All Program to enhance roadway safety

Miami-Dade County will receive $20.4 million through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Program to support critical safety infrastructure projects aimed at reducing crashes and saving lives.

The funding, secured through a grant agreement between the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), includes $16.2 million in federal funds and $4.2 million in local matching funds over five years.

This investment will support the County’s Vision Zero initiative by delivering 27 infrastructure improvement projects, five road safety audits, and implementing additional data-driven safety programs countywide.

“This funding represents a major step forward in our commitment to improving roadway safety across Miami-Dade County, and I am grateful to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and the United States Department of Transportation for this investment,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “By leveraging federal and local resources, we are advancing our Vision Zero plan with projects that will reduce serious injuries, enhance mobility, and create safer streets for residents and visitors alike.”

The SS4A Program prioritizes high-risk locations identified in the County’s 2018 Vision Zero Framework Plan and the 2024 Vision Zero Action Plan, focusing on corridors and communities with the highest rates of severe crashes and injuries.

As part of this initiative, Miami-Dade County will collaborate with the cities of Hialeah and Miami Beach, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine KiDZ Neuroscience Center, and the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) to strengthen regional collaboration and expand traffic safety efforts.

“The Safe Streets for All Program allows us to take a comprehensive approach to transportation safety,” said DTPW Director and CEO Stacy L. Miller. “Through targeted investments in infrastructure and programs, we are building a transportation system prioritizing human life and a safer, more resilient transportation system for our community.”

Over the next five years, the SS4A Program will play a key role in advancing the County’s Vision Zero goals by reducing serious injuries and fatalities while improving accessibility and connectivity for all.
