The fund aims to find innovative ideas to encourage driving at appropriate speeds, tackle issues affecting pre and existing drivers, and better protect vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians.
The new round of funding was launched by Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson to support Scotland's Road Safety Framework to 2020.

Mr Matheson said: "Partnership working is at the heart of everything we do and is key to supporting the delivery of our framework targets but we can't do this on our own. We want to encourage applications which are innovative and demonstrate thinking outside the box so we can continue to push for greater safety on our roads.
"We owe it to future generations to keep striving for better road safety today so we can take another step closer to our vision of no-one being killed on Scotland's roads and a greatly reduced injury rate."
The closing date for applications is 09 November 2018.
