Grants, partnerships and trials

We’re looking to partner with industry and other transport technology companies to undertake grants, trials and partnerships.


These are designed to facilitate and improve our understanding of new and emerging technologies and their use on the road network.

Trials are undertaken in collaboration with industry to test potential solutions to road safety and other road network problems. Grants are occasionally awarded to eligible recipients to undertake such trials.

Partnerships are where we join forces with organisations and provide support to achieve a common goal. The type of support will vary depending on the nature of the project.
