Personnel from all these commands are paid according to their individual ranks.

Housing

In June 2004, the Federal Road Safety Corps inaugurated the FRSC Housing Cooperative scheme which is geared towards the provision of housing benefits for its staff. The notion of this housing scheme emanated from the desire to support members of staff who are also contributors to the National Housing Fund (NHF) to access loans from the Federal Mortgage Bank and become proud homeowners; these officers are expected to retire to these homes.

The objective of the housing scheme is;

• To acquire, build, and allot lands to staff members
• To administer the estates for both serving and retiring cum discharging service-personnel.

Cooperative Society

Another special feature of the FRSC is their cooperative society which assists members in having access to loans, savings, and purchase goods at discounted prices from trusted sources. The cooperative can release a list of verified automobile brands at subsidized rates for interested staff members.

Special Marshals welfare

There is an insurance policy covering special road marshals who die through road accidents; the act also provides immunities for their protection. This immunity clause shields the special marshal from liability for any act validly done by the person on the route he is assigned to.
