The Ministry of Transportation’s Road Safety Research Partnership Program (RSRPP) is now accepting proposals for the 2025-26 cycle.

The program provides grant funding to researchers in Ontario's public sector and non-profit organizations to explore and address key road safety challenges.

Why Participate?

• Impactful Research: Contribute to Ontario's mission of being one of the safest jurisdictions globally by addressing road safety issues such as driver behavior, vehicle technology, and public safety policies.
• Real-World Issues: Research findings influence provincial policies and programs, such as improved cognitive screening for senior drivers and stricter drinking-and-driving laws.
• Funding Support: Receive up to $50,000 per year for projects with a maximum duration of three years.

Research Topics of Interest examples include:

• Safeguarding against risks associated with heavy and electric vehicles.
• Evaluating the safety of standing passengers on public transit.
• Studying driver responses to advanced autonomous driving features.

Additional research areas can be proposed if they address critical road safety issues.

Note: This funding does not support infrastructure engineering projects.

Who Can Apply?

The proposed study’s Principal Investigator (PI) must be a full- or part-time employee or faculty member of Humber Polytechnic. Professionals who do not work for Humber may still be listed as a Co-PI if their credentials support the study’s methodology.

Read the full 2025/26 Guidelines and download the Application form, attached.

How to Get Involved:

This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your research portfolio while contributing to initiatives that directly impact public safety in Ontario.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is February 7, 2025 at 5 p.m. (EST).

If you are interested in applying for this funding opportunity or if you would like more information about Applied Research & Innovation opportunities at Humber, please contact barath.michel@humber.ca.

Let’s work together to make Ontario's roads safer for everyone!

The holiday break is just around the corner. While many of us will be using the break to relax and unwind with our friends and family, the joys of the holidays can come with a unique mix of health and safety considerations. Keep these tips in mind to enjoy a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season:

1. Be fire conscious.
   • Never leave open flames (including candles and cooking appliances) unattended.
   • Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are operational.
   • Only use lights and other electrical decorations that are in good condition. Turn off the lights when you are away or asleep.
   • Be mindful of electrical outlets; do not overload them.
2. Drive safely.
   • Take extra care when driving in inclement weather.
   • Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle.
   • Do not use your cell phone while driving.
3. Shovel smartly.
   • Choose dry and warm clothing when shoveling.
   • Before beginning, warm up with some stretching.
   • Pushing snow is preferrable to lifting it. If you must throw snow, do not overload the shovel, and do not twist your body; always move with your feet.
   • Take breaks and warm up indoors. Stay hydrated!
4. Decorate wisely.
   • Safely use a ladder instead of chairs or other furniture to reach higher locations. Click here to learn more about safely using a ladder.
   • Do not place cords across walkways, doorways, under carpets, or any location that might pose a tripping hazard.
   • Avoid placing breakable decorations in areas where they may be prone to being knocked over and broken.
