Road Safety - Joint response to Transport Select Committee
November 11 2011
Following the Transport Select Commmittee (TSC) call for evidence on the Governments Strategic Framework for Road Safety, CIHT along with 14 other key organisations with a focus on road safety submitted a joint memorandum. The group came together because we believe that improvements to road safety is a collective shared responsibility.
The memorandum highlights the importance of targets for road safety which help to deliver higher levels of reductions in those countries that have set targets than in those that have not. The memorandum also calls for a new duty to be placed on the Secretary of State for Transport to ensure the safety of roads in Great Britain and to publish an action plan outlining the steps proposed to reduce road casualties.
A full copy of the response can be found below. The 15 organisations are listed at the end of the submission.
