Overview

Delivering the Safe System in a Complex Political Environment: 

• Success is a journey, not a destination.
• Partnership and collaboration.
• Broader policy influences.
• Governance – Importance or hinderance?
• Performance is on track, why change?
• Forward thinking and innovation.
• The need for robust, reliable and varied data.
• A different way of working.

Key learning outcomes focus around the timeframe for transition from traditional to safe system, ensuring that road safety does not work in silo to other transport objectives, and recognition of broader 2-way influences to ensure achievement. A safe system transitions the industry from ’this is a perfect system where stupid people get themselves killed’ to ‘this is a stupid system where normal peoples get killed'.
