Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) is celebrating a major $3,150,000 grant award delivered by the Biden-Harris White House and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)\u2019s \u201cSafe Streets and Roads for All\u201d program, to the \u201cSafety is Everyone\u2019s Business\u201d project under the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO). DOT is awarding CRTPO the grant to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for its three-county planning area.\n\nCRTPO previously received $5 million in July, through the DOT Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant, to examine prevailing transportation issues in Areas of Persistent Poverty (APP), Historically Disadvantaged Communities (HDC) and Rural Areas (RA) throughout the CRTPO\u2019s planning area. These programs were all funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021.\n\n\u201cI want to thank the Biden-Harris Administration and the Department of Transportation for this award that will make Charlotte\u2019s streets safer for children and families,\u201d said Rep. Adams, \u201cThis White House has shown through bipartisan efforts and hard work that they are committed to sustainable growth and a better future for Metro Charlotte and for all Americans. I\u2019m proud to have supported their Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that funds this program.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis Safe Streets and Roads for All grant award is an exciting investment in the CRTPO planning area and acknowledgment by USDOT of our important role in this work,\u201d said CRTPO Director Robert Cook. \u201cThe development of a multi-jurisdictional safety action plan will provide the region\u2019s leaders with a review of the current transportation safety conditions, data-driven recommendations, and long-term action plans for addressing gaps and challenges.\u201d As the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Charlotte Urban Area, the CRTPO will leverage its partnerships across Iredell, Mecklenburg, and Union counties to unify local priorities and knowledge into a single planning process.\n\n###\n\nCongresswoman Alma S.
