Apple Valley, CA – January 15, 2026 – The Town of Apple Valley has been awarded $9.9 million in federal funding through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program to advance its Complete Streets Implementation Project, a major investment focused on improving safety, accessibility, and mobility for all roadway users.
The project represents a $12.4 million total investment, including a $2.5 million local match from the Town’s Measure I transportation funds. Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Improvements will be made along approximately 3.4 miles of Dale Evans Parkway, Thunderbird Road, and Otoe Road, corridors located in central Apple Valley that serve some of the community’s most underserved neighborhoods. The project area includes census tracts designated as areas of persistent poverty and portions of the High Injury Network identified by the Southern California Association of Governments.
The Complete Streets Implementation Project will install evidence-based safety enhancements, including protected pedestrian and bicycle facilities, high-visibility crosswalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, traffic calming features, and improved intersections. These improvements are designed to reduce serious injuries and fatalities while creating safe, connected routes to schools, parks, transit, healthcare, and employment centers.
Apple Valley adopted its Complete Streets Action Plan in June 2025 following extensive community outreach and years of prior planning, including Safe Routes to School and roadway safety studies. This project is the first major implementation effort to emerge from that plan and reflects the Town’s commitment to equity, safety, and access.
Construction timelines and additional details will be announced as the project moves forward.
