- TravelSMART stream: provides funding to communities, organisations and workplaces for small scale projects that reduce car use and/or get more people walking, cycling or using public transport

Applications that identify potential for the benefits of the project to continue beyond the funding period or where the resulting behaviours can reasonably be sustained beyond the funding period will receive higher scores than those that cannot.
- Cost effectiveness – the capacity of the project to benefit/reach/influence a sufficient number of people to deliver value for money
- The extent to which the project seeks to achieve the stated aims of the funding streams of the Community Grants
- The extent to which the project addresses the needs of the target community
- If the applicant received a grant previously – the application must identify that the project:
- is different from or expands upon the previously funded project
- targets a significantly different audience
A closing report is required upon completion of your project. Project success will need to be measured and reported with a focus on:
- increase the incidence of walking / cycling / use of public transport
- decrease in the number of kilometres travelled in the car
- decrease in the frequency of car use
- evidence of increased road safety awareness or ongoing behavioural impacts
A proforma will be supplied to assist you in this process. You can indicate the date you will submit the report, however the latest date this report can be accepted is Friday 20 December 2013.
Please refer to the Measuring Success Fact Sheet for suggestions in how to demonstrate the success of your project.
