We welcome all local governments, Indigenous communities and non-governmental organizations planning to address a local road safety issue impacting vulnerable road users (i.e., pedestrians, cyclists, roadside workers) in their communities. Proposed projects are eligible for up to $20,000 in funding. Applicants can apply to one of two program streams: 1.) general and 2.) Indigenous-focused. Organizations can use these funds to make infrastructural improvements to roadways, enact policies or enforcement measures, launch educational campaigns, or carry out other innovative projects that make travelling safer and more equitable.
