Grant Programs
VTLP’s grant programs exist because we believe prevention is always a better investment than recovery. When our members are safer, everyone benefits — passengers, drivers, and the pool as a whole.
Safety grants are available to eligible member agencies to fund initiatives that directly reduce risk and improve operational safety.
- Grant funding available to eligible member agencies
- Applications reviewed on a [rolling/annual] basis
- Funding directed toward safety equipment, training, and prevention programs
- Member performance and participation considered in award decisions

The Virginia Transit Liability Pool is dedicated to investing in its membership, specifically for loss prevention purposes. The Loss Prevention / Safety Grant Program is an effort supported by the VTLP Board of Directors to assist with funding, and to encourage members to invest in loss control initiatives.
VTLP is offering a $2,500 grant per member, per fund year for projects or programs intended to avoid, prevent, or reduce the likelihood of accidental loss to VTLP member agencies for the coverages we write. The grant is intended for loss prevention, loss reduction, safety, or training programs/products.
When one member reduces losses, it helps all members and stabilizes rates. This grant program also strives to promote knowledge transfer among VTLP’s membership regarding risk reduction efforts.
Grant Conditions:
- Maximum funding is $2,500 per member per year.
- Grants awarded must be utilized during the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. Unused grant funds will not carry over to the next fiscal year.
- Grant funds may not be used to offset staff salary or overtime expenses.
In October 2019, VTLP was pleased to offer mobility device securement training for members and other interested agencies. To facilitate an effective securement workshop, a three-wheel scooter and power chair were rented from a local supplier. In addition, the instructor provided a tie-down board to allow the training to be conducted in a classroom setting. During the training, it became apparent that having the mobility devices allowed the class to be taught in a hands-on fashion, which really benefited the attendees.
It was brought to our attention that not all member agencies have these devices on site to conduct hands-on training with their operators. For this reason, VTLP is offering a one-time grant of $2,000 to each member agency, to assist in the procurement of a three-wheel scooter, power chair or a tie-down board for training purposes.
If your agency would like to take advantage of this funding or you have any questions, please contact Eric Kimpfler at ekimpfler@insuranceconceptsllc.com.
