Westport will be one of 15 communities awarded grants through the Complete Streets Funding Program, supporting local efforts to make roadways safer and more accessible for all users.

The Healey-Driscoll Administration is awarding $6.6 million in 2026 as part two of the program.

The funding will be used for infrastructure improvement projects that provide safe and accessible options for all modes of travel, including walking, biking, public transit and vehicles, for people of all ages and abilities.

“Our Complete Streets program empowers municipalities across the Commonwealth to make upgrades to accessibility, quality of life, and safety for all road users,” said Interim MassDOT Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phil?Eng in a press release. “Through targeted investments in safer crosswalks, improved sidewalks, bike infrastructure, and transit enhancements, we are creating corridors that are safer, more connected, and more vibrant.”
