The Town of Dedham has been awarded $300,000 from the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program to implement key safety improvements from our Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP).

• Road safety audits at eight locations (to be determined)
• Speed management plan for high-priority corridors
• Vulnerable road user priority network plan
• Public education program using digital and print media

This work is expected to begin later this year and will be completed within 12 months.

• Total Project Cost: $375,000.00
• SS4A Grant Funding Amount: $300,000.00 (Federal Funding)
• Cash Match from MassDOT: $50,000 (State Funding)
• Town In-Kind Services: $25,000

The Town of Dedham would like to thank MassDOT and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for this funding to help further the goals and objectives outlined in the Town’s first ever Local Roads Safety Plan.

The LRSP is a guide that was developed through a partnership between the Town’s Transportation Safety Working Group and consultant team from Bowman to help direct the Town’s efforts to improve overall safety for ALL road users following a series of local motor vehicle accidents a few years ago. The Transportation Safety Working Group was established by the Select Board who voted to accept the final plan in January 2025.
