Program objective
This Safe System sub program has been added to capture broader projects that more closely align with several safer systems approaches and target more than one behavioural issue.
LGSRP is funded by the Community Road Safety Fund to deliver behavioural-focused road safety initiatives at a local level to reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma.
The objectives of the program are to:
- Raise the profile of road safety within local government areas (LGAs)
- Create a road safety culture within the local community
- Develop, implement, and evaluate evidence-based projects aimed at influencing behaviour to improve road safety in local communities
- Deliver regional, state, and national road safety initiatives within the local context
- Facilitate the involvement of internal Council stakeholders, relevant local businesses, other government agencies and community organisations in community road safety
- Promote, encourage, and support the adoption of the ‘Safe System’ approach to road safety and integrate this within the strategic planning framework for Councils.
This program is administered by Transport for NSW.
