The LGGP provides funding to projects that help prevent road trauma, particularly among pedestrians and cyclists, the most vulnerable road users.

Last year, 48 pedestrians and 12 cyclists lost their lives on the state’s roads, in 2023-24, 556 pedestrians and 401 cyclists were hospitalised as the result of a road accident.
