Australian Transport Ministers have asked the heads of transport and roads agencies around the country to work together to prepare a new 10-year National Road Safety Strategy for the period from 2011 to 2020. The new strategy is intended to set an ambitious long-term vision for road safety improvement in Australia and to guide national action over the coming decade.
Transport agencies have been working hard to develop a draft National Road Safety Strategy and would like to hear from the community on its proposals.
About the draft Strategy
The draft National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 contains a range of initiatives and interventions in four key areas - Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Vehicles and Safe People.
The draft strategy outlines broad directions for the future of Australian road safety, proposed initiatives for the first three years and a range of options for further consideration as the strategy progresses. Transport and roads agency Chief Executives invite your feedback on any aspect of the strategy.
