Safe walking and pedalling program (SWAPP)
The Safe Walking and Pedalling Program is aimed at school students who walk or cycle to and from school. It involves the review of the footpaths, bicycle paths and infrastructure children use within 3.2 km of a school. Rather than simply making children adopt a particular safe route to and from school, the program also aims to increase the number of walking and cycling trips taken by children.The program has funding for minor works to be carried out with a cap of A$10 000 for each submission. Submissions are given priority according to factors such as crash history, level of assessed risk, speed environment and departmental objectives. School communities should contact their local road safety advisor for further information on applying for funding under the Safe Walking and Pedalling Program.
