GRANT - Vision Zero in Road Safety
Are you part of a school district, parent advisory council (PAC), a road safety advocacy group or other non-government organization (NGO) in need of funding for road safety improvements that will result in a reduction in road user injuries or the severity of those injuries? The opportunity to apply for a Vision Zero in Road Safety grant ends on January 16, 2023.
The grants of $5,000 to $20,000 are aimed at small and remote communities to "advance the implementation of innovative, technology-driven, proven and low-cost road safety crash countermeasures."
Examples include:
- Traffic signal timing changes
- Raised crosswalks
- Solar powered speed feedback signs
- Rectangular rapid flashing beacons
- Innovative pavement markings
- Curb extensions or bollards
In the case of indigenous communities grants may include any items listed above, but also include other Indigenous-led road safety priorities, such as road safety planning, initiatives aimed to address specific problems such as driver training, impaired driving, community consultations, stakeholder engagement, public awareness, creation of a bike-share program, etc.
