Connecticut is receiving more than $2.4 million from the federal government for traffic and road safety improvements, the state’s Congressional delegation announced today.

The money comes from the country’s bipartisan infrastructure law that funds traffic safety projects across the country. In total, the state will receive $2.408 million to support six traffic safety projects in Connecticut, including:

  • $200,000 for Torrington to develop a comprehensive safety action plan.
  • $160,000 for the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments to develop a comprehensive safety action plan.
  • $450,000 for Westport to develop a comprehensive safety action plan.
  • $400,000 for New Haven to build upon the existing safety action plan to pursue quick-build projects.
  • $958,000 for the Capitol Region Council of Governments to develop a comprehensive safety action plan.
  • $240,000 for the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments to develop a comprehensive safety action plan.

The funds are awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program.
