Why have a plan?
The region faces many transport challenges. Improving road safety is an important aspect of overall transport planning and action within the region. By having a clear plan, RoadSafe Auckland believes that key agencies will be more proactive towards addressing road safety issues. Coordination of efforts at organisational and community levels is as important now as ever, and the plan (as previous plans have done) will continue to assist coordination.
Vision and mission
The Regional Road Safety Plan includes a vision, a mission and a series of inter-related goals and strategies. Each strategy has a series performance measures and targets.
Vision: No road users are killed or seriously injured on the Auckland region's roads.
Mission: The Auckland Region leads the country in road safety by achieving the lowest rate of regional road casualties per 10,000 people by 2010.
