Verkeersmaatregelen op zoek naar subsidie. Onderdeel van de "Evaluatie van projectsubsidies Actie - 25 %" in opdracht van de Stichting Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Verkeersveiligheid SWOV.

Since 1990 it is possible for local authorities to get extra money from the government for those projects which can improve traffic safety. This report studies the question why some local authorities do not ask for that extra money. Whether such a request is made or not is a matter of the local authority policy. The American Kingdon has developed a model that describes the realization of public policies. With the use of this model ten hypotheses are formulated. It is concluded that the lack of personnel, the lack of knowledge of how to get the extra money, and a negative attitude to traffic safety are the most common reasons for not demanding a subsidy.
