Transurban is proud to announce that Police Citizens Youth Club NSW (PCYC) has been chosen to 
receive a community grant worth $9,800.

The grant will be used by the organisation to support its Safer Drivers Course for Learner Drivers, 
which will provide 70 targeted people in the Penrith and Blacktown areas with free access to the 
course.

PCYC NSW is a charity giving young people greater opportunity to reach their potential through 
Police and community partnerships. This initiative consists of a 5-hour workshop and one driving 
lesson which would normally cost $140.

Transurban’s Head of Public Affairs, Alisa Hitchcock said, “Safety, in particular road safety, is at the 
heart of everything we do at Transurban, so we are thrilled to be able to help young drivers get 
behind the wheel to attain their provisional license.”

“We know how important having a drivers license can be to help empower young people whether 
that be through education, employment, and gaining more independence,” Ms Hitchcock added.

Member for Penrith, Karen McKeown OAM said, “Road safety is paramount for all drivers on our 
roads, to ensure drivers make it home safely to their family and loved ones.”

“Transurban’s initiative to provide grants for road safety, especially young and learner drivers in 
Penrith, shows their dedication on educating local drivers.”

Transurban’s annual Community Grants Program offers up to $10,000 for projects that bring social, 
road safety and/or environmental benefits to communities near the company’s road corridors.
