Putting a spotlight on road safety

There is no silver bullet when it comes to road safety, which is why we must look at the issue holistically in order to find solutions that reduce road trauma. We believe the Tasmanian Legislative Council’s inquiry into road safety, endorsed in June, is a key part of finding these solutions. The inquiry has been called in light of Tasmania’s tragic road safety record, particularly our failure to meet National Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) targets at the end of last year. It will consider a range of issues, including road infrastructure, vehicle safety, driver education, data and research, as well as national and international best practice. We’ll be asking for input from our members and the community on how to improve road safety in Tasmania, with this information to inform our submission to the inquiry. Keep an eye on your email, our website and social media for ways to get involved.
