2018 Road Safety Fund Grants Program
The 2018 ACT Road Safety Fund Grants program was opened on 9 April by Minister for Road Safety Shane Rattenbury. The Road Safety grants provide an opportunity for the community to help shape priorities in the ACT for improving road safety. Funding is available for a range of activities including road safety programs and rehabilitation services, road safety education and public awareness campaigns, research, road safety audits and feasibility studies into road design and construction.
Key funding priority areas of vulnerable road users, improving road safety through greater links and promotion of sustainable transport, speed management, impaired driving and young/novice drivers, riders and road users. Applications which fall under one of these strategic priority areas will be given a greater weighting than other projects.
Applications for this year close on 23 May 2018.
