Description
The Safe School Routes Campaign 2026 supports Carinthian municipalities in improving traffic safety in sensitive zones around schools, after-school care facilities, and kindergartens. Funding is provided for the acquisition of mobile speed displays or LED flashing light systems with a subsidy rate of 50% of the gross acquisition costs (maximum €2,500). Public institutions from Carinthia can submit applications from September 1, 2025, as long as funding is available. With a maximum project duration of 19 months, the initiative contributes to reducing dangerous speeding and protecting pedestrians, especially children, from traffic risks.
One system per municipality is possible throughout the entire funding period, provided that the technical and location-specific requirements according to the funding guidelines are met. Essential funding prerequisites include a positive traffic engineering assessment by an expert from Department 7 and compliance with the specifications for installation location, display labeling, and data collection. In addition to the completed VT129 form, a photo of the location, an orthophoto with the marked location, and a detailed offer including type and model information are required.
