​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.

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.
