Groups and organisations in Newtown are being urged to submit ideas for improving road safety in the area and a chance to share £300,000 to implement it.
The deadline is drawing nearer for ideas to be submitted to Dyfed Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Christopher Salmon.
He wants to hear from people with ideas to improve road safety in the area.
The ideas can be submitted based on a local initiative but are likely to be rolled out and tested across Powys, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire if chosen.
The Commissioner said: “I want to hear from organisations with great ideas on keeping road users safe.
“Too many people die or are seriously hurt on our roads; I want to change that.
“My Road to Safety scheme will see innovative and exciting new road safety projects improve the lives of our communities and their road users.”
The fund will reduce the number of road casualties in local communities such as Newtown and Montgomeryshire.
The Commissioner will make grants to public sector, police force, private sector, voluntary or community organisations and encourages organisations to work together.
A separate smaller budget of £35,000 is earmarked to look at research by academic institutions and partners, with a focus on emerging road safety trends.
Applicants can apply for funding until September 8.
