As positive results were achieved through the trial of two speed display trailer units, in the Perth metropolitan area and in a regional centre and semi-rural environment, the Local Government and Community Road Safety Committee (LG & CRSC) is offering a limited number of grants to assist in the purchase of road safety speed display trailers.

Grant amount
Up to $20,000 can be applied for for speed display trailer units

Criteria
Applications that demonstrate the following components will be considered by the LG & CRSC:
• The objectives, planned activities and expected outcomes of the project are directly aligned the recommended Towards Zero WA Road Safety Strategy 2008-2020, • A schedule, of typical activities where the road safety speed display trailer will be used, is included (eg courtesy speed awareness, community events, road works, Driver Reviver stops etc),
• Complimentary activities such as enforcement, engineering, community education, promotion or advocacy are incorporated,
• Community involvement or partnerships (eg RoadWise Committees, Regional Road Safety Coordination Groups, Regional Road Groups etc) are outlined,
• Intended evaluation methods/measures are described.
• Indicate who will be responsible for the storage, transport, repair, scheduling, registration, insurance and ongoing maintenance of the road safety speed display trailer.

A limited number of trailers will be funded. Preference will therefore be given to applications that involve sharing arrangements where this is practical, for example a group of neighbouring Local Governments or a Regional Road Group. A description of sharing arrangements should be included in the application.
