Roadsafe Taranaki
Roadsafe Taranaki undertakes the Community Road Safety Programme in Taranaki on behalf of New Zealand Transport Authority. Roadsafe Taranaki is based on a regional road safety agreement between the three Local Territorial Authorities.
Roadsafe Taranaki - Objectives:
- Identify road safety issues
- Work collaboratively on road safety issues
- Raise community awareness about road safety issues in Taranaki
- Increase participation of the community and community groups in road safety projects
- Assist communities to identify and take ownership of their road safety issues
- Implement the Roadsafe Taranaki Community Road Safety Annual Plan
In addition to the three e’s of Education, Enforcement and Engineering identified in the Road Safety 2010 strategy, Roadsafe Taranaki also focus on encouragement to promote behaviour change and environment to provide a safe sustainable travel network. To help facilitate this work a road safety co-ordinator and road safety project assistant are employed to work within the community (managed by the South Taranaki District Council). Collaboration is a key part of an effective road safety approach and Roadsafe Taranaki is committed to a Community Development approach to assist and stimulate communities to develop a road safety culture.
