Already making a difference in our community
Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner said a second round of funding was now on offer following the success of the first round which drew a very high calibre of submissions.
“Community-based road safety initiatives are often born from local experiences and prove to be very effective as they resonate well with the local community,” he said.
“Our focus is on changing behaviour and the highly competitive nature of submissions in the first round shows there is a strong commitment to making our local roads safer.
"I want to thank all those applicants who applied for the first round and encourage those who weren’t successful to have another go.”
In round one the Road Safety Commission awarded more than $254,000 to 33 community-based projects from both metropolitan and regional based organisations.
There were 11 projects that received a total of $177,200 in funding grants and 22 events that were awarded a total of $77,272 with grants ranging in value from $2,000 to $25,000.
Of the 33 successful recipients, 12 will be delivered in the metropolitan area with 17 taking place in the regions and four programs to be delivered via wide ranging digital, social, and education campaigns.

Investing back into road safety
Community road safety initiative grants are funded via the Road Trauma Trust Account, which sees 100 per cent of safety camera fines spent on projects that save lives and reduce trauma on WA roads.
