Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Safe Streets for All Reauthorization and Improvement Act amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to modify and extend the Safe Streets and Roads for All program. The bill makes two primary changes: it adjusts the minimum funding allocation for planning grants from an unspecified amount to at least 20% of total program funds starting in fiscal year 2024, and it authorizes $5 billion in additional funding for the program to cover fiscal years 2027 through 2031. This program aims to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries through comprehensive planning and implementation projects.
