Safe Streets for All Reauthorization and Improvement Act

# Safe Streets for All Reauthorization and Improvement Act (HR 5452) ## What It Would Do This bill would reauthorize and update the Safe Streets for All program, a federal initiative that provides funding and support to communities working to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries. If passed, it would continue federal backing for local projects aimed at making streets safer—such as improving intersections, adding bike lanes, installing traffic signals, and funding public education campaigns about road safety. ## Who It Affects The bill primarily affects local governments, transportation departments, and community organizations that receive or seek federal funding for street safety projects. It also impacts pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and anyone who uses public roads. The program is designed to help communities of all sizes—from rural areas to major cities—implement safety improvements. ## Current Status As of now, HR 5452 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

It was sponsored by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tennessee). The bill would need to pass committee review and a full House vote before moving to the Senate for consideration.
