Applications are now open for the Community Road Safety Grants to provide community groups across NSW with the opportunity to implement small scale, local projects within their communities.
The projects will help increase road safety awareness and understanding and support safer road use through education about safer behaviours that reduce road trauma.
Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has provided grants to community groups and charity/not for profit organisations to support local road safety initiatives. These projects help increase road safety awareness and contribute to moving towards zero fatalities and serious injuries on NSW roads.
