Two major FIA initiatives are leveraging results \u2013 a Toolkit equipping clubs with the resources and know-how to make school journeys safer and a grants programme to upgrade high-risk school zones informed by evidence-based SR4S assessments.<\/p>\n

A Toolkit to enable <\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0FIA School Assessment Toolkit<\/a>,\u00a0available in both English<\/a> and Spanish<\/a>, is a web-portal for\u00a0FIA Clubs<\/a>\u00a0to help them identify high-risk schools, establish and conduct safety assessments, communicate results and scale-up outcomes. It provides over 30 knowledge documents, guidelines and templates to plan, resource, apply and advocate for school zone improvements that will save children\u2019s lives by delivering a\u00a03-star or better journey to school.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Toolkit allows the scalability of use of SR4S among FIA Members as well as introduces the\u00a0CAA\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0behavioural School Zone Assessment tool.<\/p>\n

Funding for life-saving road upgrades<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FIA Road Safety Grants Programme<\/a>\u00a0extends \u20ac1.2 million from the FIA Foundation annually to enable Clubs to address road safety at local level and support the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the Grant Programme is supporting FIA members to upgrade school zones through projects that apply the 10 steps of the School Assessment Toolkit and SR4S application. FIA members can apply for up to \u20ac25,000 per project, to cover the full project or co-fund other sources to upgrade at least one school zone.<\/p>\n
