(a) For many years the RTTA has contributed $20 million per year to the Regional Road Safety Program (RRSP) and an additional $5m per year has now been allocated to extend the RRSP to key local roads. The existing RRSP program of works on state roads will conclude in 2027-28, after which the full $25 million annual funding will be applied to the RRSP local roads program of works.
