Safer roads in our hands

The Victorian Government is committed to significantly reducing road trauma by 2030, to put us on the path to zero road deaths and serious injuries by 2050.

Road Safety Action Plan 2

The second Road Safety Action Plan will deliver life-saving road safety infrastructure and strengthen enforcement efforts over the next four years to reduce road trauma in Victoria.

This action plan is the next step in delivering on an investment of over $1.1 billion to continue our commitment of halving deaths and significantly reducing road trauma by 2030, including $350 million for new initiatives. It is the second in a series of action plans implementing the Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021- 2030.

We know that people do make mistakes, and our roads, speeds and vehicles should all be designed to avoid crashes and to help reduce the severity when they do. We know that each death is preventable, but reducing road trauma is ultimately a shared responsibility and everyone needs to play their part.

The action plan will be delivered by the Road Safety Partners of Victoria:

Department of Transport and Planning
Victoria Police
Transport Accident Commission
Department of Justice and Community Safety
Department of Health

The partners will work closely with stakeholders including WorkSafe, local councils and community organisations, and others who can help us achieve our road safety goals.

Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030

The Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 aims to halve deaths by 2030 and put us on a strong path to eliminate all road deaths by 2050.

Most Victorians do the right thing on our roads, but when crashes happen, they have devastating impacts on individuals, families, communities and workplaces.

The strategy seeks to embed a strong culture of road safety within the community, supporting road users to make safe choices as we progressively reduce fatalities on our roads.

The strategy’s objectives are to:

ensure all Victorians are safe and feel safe, on and around our roads.
halve all road deaths by 2030 and put us on a strong path to eliminate all road deaths by 2050, while also reducing serious injuries on our roads.
encourage a culture of road safety within the Victorian community.
deliver a suite of initiatives that have an impact in the short-term while preparing us for future opportunities.

The strategy will be implemented via short-term action plans of key initiatives. This approach allows us to be agile in response to road safety now and into the future.

The strategy is informed by data and research, subject matter expert contributions, and stakeholder and community engagement undertaken in 2019 and 2020.

Road Safety Victoria – based within the Department of Transport and Planning – led the development of the strategy in collaboration with the Victorian Road Safety Partnership – the Transport Accident Commission, Victoria Police, the Department of Justice and Community Safety, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
