Road Safety Funding
The Road Safety Council has two main sources of funding: Government provision and private sector sponsorship. Both are integral to successful campaigning for a high standard of road safety in Hong Kong.
For the 2011-2012 financial year, the Government allocated HK$4.7 million to the Council for education and publicity programmes through the Transport and Housing Bureau. In addition, the Council accepted HK$260,000 from various commercial partners to enable the staging of road safety events and production of publicity materials to promote road safety messages. The Council will continue to secure and encourage external sources of sponsorship for publicity activities.
Our Road Safety Campaign Committee jointly devises a work plan with the Transport and Housing Bureau, and ensures that resources are utilised appropriately and effectively. The Committee also ensures that publicity activities meet designated parameters and remain within budget.
The Council is confident that, with its funding, a well coordinated and effective action plan to promote road safety can be implemented across all areas of concern.
