Arizona Grants for LED Stop Signs, School Zone & Pedestrian Safety
Alert Lighting Co.Arizona cities, counties, tribal communities, and schools have several ADOT administered and federal funding paths to help pay for roadway and pedestrian safety upgrades, including LED stop signs and flashing school zone signage.
Alert Lighting Company builds MUTCD compliant, solar powered LED safety signs that fit directly into the scope of these programs.
Current Arizona Grant Programs
| Program | Status | Typical Eligible Projects | Official Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arizona Safe Routes to School (SRTS) | Annual reimbursement grants, about $5 million distributed per cycle | Crossing signals, bike racks, traffic circles, speed humps, and other barriers to safe walking or biking to school | ADOT Safe Routes to School |
| Arizona Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) | Ongoing, guided by the Strategic Highway Safety Plan | Intersection safety, lane departure countermeasures, vulnerable road user improvements including signage | ADOT HSIP |
| Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) | Federal program; cities typically apply after completing a Safety Action Plan | Implementation of safety projects identified in a local Safety Action Plan, including signage and crossing improvements | USDOT SS4A Program |
Note: many Arizona towns pursue SS4A funding by first developing a Safety Action Plan, which can also support HSIP and SRTS applications for the same locations.
How These Programs Line Up With Alert Lighting Products
LED Stop Signs for Intersection and Lane Departure Safety
Arizona's HSIP emphasis areas include intersections and lane departure crashes. A solar powered LED stop sign is a fast, low cost improvement for exactly these locations.
Flashing School Zone Signs
Arizona's SRTS grants fund infrastructure that removes barriers to walking and biking to school. A solar powered LED school zone sign is a straightforward addition to a school zone improvement application.
Pedestrian Crossing Visibility
Vulnerable road user safety is a named emphasis area in Arizona's Strategic Highway Safety Plan. A flashing LED pedestrian crossing sign improves visibility at marked crossings statewide, including tribal community roadways.
