TAC Local Government Grant Program
This grant program encourages Victorian local government's to improve road safety issues in their local communities as laid out in the Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030
The TAC and our road safety partners recognise the important role Local Governments play in road safety and they are key contributors to achieving road safety targets across the State. Local Governments are well-placed to identify specific problems, especially for walking and cycling, and to develop and implement solutions.
This grant program provides funding opportunities for Local Governments to support projects that have the potential to reduce, and where possible eliminate, the likelihood of death and serious injury for pedestrians and cyclists in their local area.
Information on the 2023 round of the TAC Local Government Grant Program will be made available in June.
