UN Decade of Action

As the peak regional body for road safety professionals, advocates, and members of the public who are focused on saving lives and serious injuries on our roads, the Australasian College of Road Safety strongly supports the aims of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, the Brasilia Declaration on Road Safety, Australia’s National Road Safety Strategy 2010-2020, and the New Zealand Road Safety Strategy 2010-2020. The College as a whole, together with each stakeholder under our broad membership umbrella, is working hard to meet the goals of the UN Decade of action, the NRSS and the NZRSS.
