USDOT Awards Baltimore City in the New Round of Safe Streets Grants

The grants will fund demonstration projects and safety action plans such as Baltimore’s Complete Streets program, which received the largest grant at nearly $10 million. The city is “working with the University of Maryland and Morgan State University to improve crash data, identify its high-injury network and model risk on its streets," says Shayna Rose, a Baltimore city planner and director of the city’s Toward Zero program.  Baltimore also plans to use grant funding to develop new forms of community engagement and outreach as they roll out quick-build demonstration projects. 

Dr. Mansoureh Jeihani, Professor in the Department of Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies and Director of the National Transportation Center, leads this effort for Morgan.
