The Trump administration's suspension of the 'Road to Zero' program affects various bipartisan grants aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Grant recipients received a 'stop work order' from the National Safety Council, halting initiatives that address critical issues such as pedestrian fatalities, especially among Native Americans, and promoting safer driving education. Projects aimed at pediatric safety, emotional support for traffic crash victims, child restraint misuse, and the impact of extreme weather on roadway fatalities are all suspended without prior criticism, signaling a significant political shift prioritizing agenda over public safety.
The Trump administration has frozen the federally funded 'Road to Zero' program, eliminating bipartisan grants aimed at improving pedestrian and cyclist safety across the U.S.
The work in question? Grant recipients for 2024 included a wide range of non-partisan projects addressing crucial safety issues for vulnerable road users.
Nothing on the list has specifically been criticized previously by the left or the right as a misuse of public funds.
