Safe Streets Mini-Grant Program:
Virtual Info Session 


Join City of Tucson for a one-hour info session on the Safe Streets Mini-Grant Program on Wednesday, June 11, at 5:30 PM.

The Safe Streets Mini-Grant establishes an inclusive, community-led process to deliver traffic calming improvements in residential neighborhoods, prioritizing under-resourced areas that lack access to funding their own traffic calming improvements via the existing Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. 

Andrea Altamirano, Transportation Program Coordinator, will provide an overview of this grant opportunity that can help bring traffic calming improvements—like speed humps, traffic circles, and chicanes—to neighborhoods that need them most.
