(Chris Woodward<\/em>) \u2013 Four projects in Nevada are getting nearly $19 million total in federal funds to improve road safety.<\/p>\n

U.S. Sens Jacky Rosen’s office\u00a0announced<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0$18,957,436 total in grants from\u00a0the U.S.\u00a0Department of Transportation. The four projects include traffic safety improvement in\u00a0East Las Vegas ($8,377,460),\u00a0the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada’s regional safety plan ($1,508,000),\u00a0East Sixth Street road improvements in Reno ($8,963,112), and the development of a safety action plan for the\u00a0Shoshone Paiute Tribes ($108,864).<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cIt\u2019s critical that communities across Nevada have reliable transportation infrastructure that keeps pedestrians and passengers safe,\u201d Rosen said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m glad this funding will improve road safety throughout our state and help protect Nevadans while on the road.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sen.\u00a0Catherine Cortez Masto said the funding “will save lives by helping Nevada communities implement pedestrian safety plans and make vital infrastructure improvements.”<\/p>\n

Funding for the\u00a0Safe Streets and Roads for All grants comes from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. Nationally, USDOT is awarding\u00a0385 grants totaling\u00a0$817 million.<\/p>\n

“Through the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, we have now announced safety funding going directly to communities representing 70% of the people living in this country,\u201d\u00a0U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg\u00a0said<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in a statement. \u201cWe are acting to confront the crisis of safety on our nation\u2019s roads, helping communities work to reduce traffic deaths to the only acceptable number: zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
