APPLICATIONS for the first round of the federal government\u2019s $12 million Road Safety Innovation Fund will be open until next week.
\nVictorian Senator Sarah Henderson urged any organisations in regional Victoria with an interest in road safety research and development to apply for funding to help make a difference to the lives of all Australians.
\n\u201cImproving road safety is something our entire community can contribute to and I encourage all organisations in the region with an interest in road safety innovation and technologies to apply for funding,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cRoad crashes have an enormous emotional and economic impact on all affected communities, but particularly the families and friends of the victims.
\n\u201cInnovation and technology are key tools that can help reduce the number of road crashes by ensuring road safety becomes \u2018business as usual\u2019 for all road users here in regional Victoria.\u201d
\nDeputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the program would provide grants for road safety research and technology development to improve safety outcomes for road users across the nation.
\n\u201cThe Australian Government takes road safety seriously, because one death or one crash on our roads is one too many.
\n\u201cThe fund will target innovative projects addressing priority areas including improving road safety in regional and remote areas, reducing driver distraction and drug driving and supporting better safety outcomes for vulnerable road users.
\n\u201cI look forward to announcing successful projects to be funded under Round 1 of the Road Safety Innovation Fund in the coming months and seeing critical safety-improving projects get under way soon after.\u201d
\nAssistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz said the first round of the fund had $2 million available to fund projects across the country to run over the next four years.
\n\u201cPotential projects can include innovation in road safety management initiatives, new technologies and delivery techniques or research that better informs policy development and outcomes.
\n\u201cThis fund is just one of the many ways the Australian Government is investing in road safety to move towards zero fatalities and serious injuries on our roads.
\n\u201cOther initiatives include the recent $4 million Road Safety Awareness and Enablers Fund, which is helping deliver targeted educational campaigns to reduce risky behaviour and increase road safety awareness, install life-saving speed signage and collaborate with the community on decreasing road trauma.\u201d
\nThe first round of applications close on Monday, May 18 and will be assessed through an open competitive process.
