Currently around 300 people are seriously injured and killed on Tasmanian roads each year. Our long-term goal for road safety in Tasmania is to have a ‘Safe System’ of zero serious injuries and deaths on our roads.
The Towards Zero – Tasmanian Road Safety Strategy 2017-2026 (Towards Zero Strategy) works towards this goal by setting a target for the annual number of serious injuries and deaths on Tasmanian roads to fewer than 200 by 2026.
2021-2022 Grant Round is now open and will close on Friday 24th September 2021.

A limited number of more substantial road safety grants are also available, with funding up to $35,000 (plus GST). Detailed project plans will be required to demonstrate the need, road safety benefit and proposed expenditure of projects.
Funding can cover the cost to develop and implement a project including staff costs but does not include general administration costs such as for internet, telephone, office space and travel.
The assessment panel has the discretion to part or fully fund a project. The decision of the panel is final.
Projects must address a road safety behaviour or road safety user group in the categories below and demonstrate a community focus by addressing a local issue which is evidence-based and has community support.
