The U.S. Department of Transportation has allocated over $32 million in federal grants to Arkansas for road safety improvements across nine communities, with significant projects in cities like Little Rock and Searcy aimed at preventing deaths and injuries on roads. Meanwhile, the Transportation Department is implementing safety enhancements on White Plains Road in New York, including protected bike lanes and bus islands, in response to data showing high rates of serious injuries and fatalities. In Lincoln County, despite a budget increase, property tax rates will remain unchanged, with a focus on addressing jail overcrowding and funding new facilities using federal rescue dollars. Bergen County, New Jersey, is developing a Local Safety Action Plan to prioritize transportation safety improvements, aiming to reduce the high incidence of fatal and serious injury crashes on local roads. This plan will involve community input and aims to secure funding for future safety enhancements. These initiatives across various regions highlight a concerted effort to improve road safety and infrastructure funding.
