The latest round of the Victorian Government’s grants for organisations and groups to develop and implement community-based road safety projects is now open.

Through this grant program, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) will award a total of $600,000 to help make roads in local communities safer.

Specific categories of the overall program, like the Road Safety Support Grant and the Road Safety Collaboration Grant, will see successful applicants work alongside TAC’s road safety experts to develop their proposals.

In 2025, nine Victorian groups and organisations received more than $360,000 in grants for projects to improve road safety in their communities
