The Road Safety Trust
The Road Safety Trust is an independent grant giving trust, supporting
projects and research that aim to make UK roads safer for all road users.
Its charitable objective is to support road safety research or practical
interventions intended to reduce the numbers of people killed or injured on
the roads.
It is especially keen to support measures that combine approaches to
casualty reduction. Projects are expected to give an indication of the
benefits to road safety that may be expected from the research or from any
practical intervention that may be supported and how these benefits have
been calculated.
The charity is governed by eleven trustees and includes the national NPCC
lead for roads policing. The trustees come from a range of backgrounds
including the private sector, civil service, higher education, politics and
crime reduction. The members of the Trust are the 43 police forces of
England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Road Safety Trust will be launching a new funding programme in
Spring 2019 following consultation on funding priorities. Further information
