Free Cuppa Initiative Aims To Lower Driver Fatigue
The Free Cuppa for the Rider initiative reduces the risk of rider fatigue on NSW roads, as participating businesses donate a free cuppa to riders travelling through regional NSW between 1 March and 31 May each year. Fatigue is one of the biggest killers on NSW roads, “Free Cuppa” is helping tackle that!
Developed by the NSW Local Government Road Safety Program in 2010, Free Cuppa for the Driver is an initiative aimed at reducing driver fatigue related crashes across NSW. The scheme is administered by a group of passionate Road Safety Officers who engage with local cafes and other food and beverage providers to promote and deliver the scheme.
All free cuppas are generously provided by established businesses who also want to see a reduction in our road toll. All marketing and administration costs are funded by Transport for NSW, The NSW Centre for Road Safety and the participating councils.
To reduce the risk of driver fatigue on NSW roads, participating businesses donate a free cuppa to drivers travelling through regional NSW between 1 March and 31 May each year. These businesses are listed here. Drivers can show their licence with a home address 100km away or more to receive a free cuppa. They can be driving for work or recreation. It doesn’t matter.
In 2023, Road Safety Officers across the State will be focussing on all road users, but with a particular focus on Caravaners and Motorcycle Riders.
