The Road to Zero Coalition recently announced it will accept grant applications for its traffic safety program. The deadline to apply is January 17th, 2025. The funds, totaling $750,000, are geared toward finding solutions to lower the number of deaths on our nation’s roadways. While the Road to Zero Coalition and the National Safety Council run the grant program, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides the money. That means these are federal dollars offered through the grant program.
Non-profit organizations may apply for the funds, which will be dispersed over one year, beginning in Spring 2025. To aid in understanding the program and the grant process, the Road to Zero Coalition has two scheduled webinars on December 3rd and 6th. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) strongly encourages every state motorcyclist rights organization (SMRO) to learn more about this program.
MRF President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard put it bluntly, “Every SMRO should apply for these funds. Let’s make NHTSA and their partners prove they care about motorcyclist safety by putting their money where their mouth is.” He added, “These are taxpayer dollars. Perhaps we, as taxpaying bikers, will finally get a share of the pie.”
