August 31, 2026 Press Release CRAFTON, PA – Today, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) released a new video about the $1,338,581.00 in federal funding that he delivered for street and safety improvements on Crafton Boulevard outside Crafton Elementary School. Right now, school buses have to load and unload students directly on Crafton Boulevard, with no protection from nearby traffic. The project will adjust the width of the street, design and install a dedicated school bus lane, and update the surrounding area for pedestrians, students, and families. “This is about keeping kids safe. Crafton and the Carlynton School District did a great job to put me in the position to secure more than $1.3 million to help fix up Crafton Boulevard,” said Congressman Deluzio . “This is a really important project for Crafton that is all about making families and kids safer heading to school—I am proud to help bring these federal dollars here to Crafton.” The video features stories and insights from Crafton leaders including Crafton Mayor Coletta Perry, Crafton Borough Council President John Oliverio, Crafton Borough Council Member Greg Wozniak, and Carlynton School Board President Jim Schriver. The video is live here and is downloadable here . Photos from the check presentation are available here. This funding for Crafton is one of Congressman Deluzio’s community funding project selections for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. He successfully secured more than $193 million for fourteen projects across his Western Pennsylvania district, earning the title as the U.S. House Democrat who secured the most funding for their district out of the FY 2026 spending bills. This makes Congressman Deluzio third out of all 435 U.S. House Members.
