TAC Road Safety Grant Program

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Those within the community may be best placed to identify specific problems and implement solutions relevant to their unique communities.

The TAC Road Safety Grant Program, formerly named the TAC Community Road Safety Grant Program, is designed to support community groups and organisations to develop and implement effective community-based road safety projects.

The recently revised program incorporates improvements that aim to support a broader range of community road safety projects and streamline the grant process for applicants.

Please read the updated funding guidelines here for more information on the program.
