Dunwoody awarded road safety grant

Dunwoody, GA - January 15, 2026 - The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the City of Dunwoody $200,000 in federal funding through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. This award will enable Dunwoody to conduct data-driven road safety audits across the city's high-injury corridors and pilot high-impact safety improvements.

"This grant will help Dunwoody continue progress towards its goal of zero roadway fatalities," said Dunwoody Public Works Director Michael Smith. "The funding will be used to evaluate conditions on the roadways experiencing the most severe crashes and identify specific action items to improve safety on those corridors."

This is a Planning and Demonstration grant that will fund the following:

• Roadway audits on priority corridors within Dunwoody's high-injury network, as identified in the Dunwoody Road Safety Action Plan
• Traffic counts and near-miss video analytics to understand risks before crashes occur
• Community and stakeholder outreach to gather local experience
• Prioritized audit reports with crash analysis and cost-benefit-ranked recommendations
• A final report on design, funding, and implementation of future safety projects

This SS4A award supports Dunwoody's ongoing commitment to a safe, connected transportation system and aligns with USDOT's National Roadway Safety Strategy focus on reducing fatal and serious-injury crashes. The total project budget is $250,000, including a $50,000 local match, which will be funded using ARPA II dollars designated for safety implementation.
