CONCORD, CA (Mar. 17, 2023) — The City of Concord was recently awarded $7.9 million in grant funds from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to support a massive street lighting and safety improvement project. This is the largest grant allocation to any Bay Area agency from Caltrans' $225 million for projects designed to reduce traffic deaths and injury on city and county roads. The funding for Concord will go toward improvements like installing new lighting, pedestrian countdown signals, and additional bicycle safety, as well as updating existing lighting, uncontrolled crosswalks, and signal phasing, and more.
