Road Safety Program 2023/24 to 2025/26

This grant was launched in early 2024 to fund road safety treatments. $91.8 million of funding is available to councils across NSW.

The outcomes and objectives of the program are to: 

• Deliver lifesaving road safety treatments on remote, regional, and urban roads. 

• Implement treatments that deliver improved Road Safety Outcomes linked to the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30 and the National Road Safety Action Plan 2023-25, as well as the NSW Governments Road Safety Action Plan 2026. The goal of this Program is to reduce fatal injuries by 50 per cent and serious injuries by 30 per cent on NSW roads by 2030. 

• Improve risk ratings on roads to a minimum of ‘three-star’ rating on high-risk highways and arterial roads.  

• Improved protection for vulnerable road users, particularly on urban footpaths, shared pathways, cycleways and road crossings.

This Program contains 4 sub-programs: 

1. School Zone Infrastructure sub-program   

2. Heavy Vehicle Rest Area sub-program – State roads only 

3. Walking and Cycling Infrastructure sub-program
