The implementation of the Grant Scheme for the Purchase of Protective Equipment for Motorcyclists was successfully launched yesterday, with applications exceeding 1,800 in the first 24 hours. [/B]
For 2022, €500 will be subsidised for the purchase of airbags for motorcyclists for a total amount of €350,000. The number of applications submitted so far via the onlinewww.motosafety.gov.cy platform is very satisfactory. The increased interest is proof that motorcyclists share the view that there is a need for the use of additional protective equipment, in addition to helmets, for greater safety on the road network.
It is recalled that the online submission of applications will continue until 7 July 2022 (12 noon) and applications will be examined according to the criteria of the Plan and those that meet the requirements will be classified for approval. Interest is much higher than the predetermined number of applications and, therefore, a live electronic draw will be conducted on a date to be announced after the application period.
It is clarified that successful registration of the application, will not be considered as an approval. Applicants who receive preliminary approval will be notified electronically (email) or by text message (sms) or post and will be given a period of 3 months from the date of the preliminary approval to submit supporting documentation for equipment purchase and payment account details for payment of the sponsorship.
Further details on the requirements of the Scheme are available at www.motosafety.gov.cy. Interested parties can also email motosafety@mcw.gov.cy for further information and queries before applying.
