Safer Rural Roads Program
The Safer Rural Roads Program (SRRP) provides opportunities for Tasmanian local governments to apply for grant funding to implement widespread low-cost road safety infrastructure treatments on rural and regional roads.
The SRRP aims to improve road safety outcomes in Tasmania by:
- Reducing the number of head-on and run-off-road crashes that occur on rural and regional roads.
- Enabling local government to undertake corridor-based infrastructure treatments to improve road safety on rural roads.
If you are a community member and have identified a rural or regional road safety issue in your local government area, please contact your local government to share your suggestions. You can find contact information for your local government at LGA Tasmania - Find your local council.
