Auckland Regional Road Safety Plan 2009–2012

The Auckland Regional Road Safety Plan 2009–2012 continues to focus on key road safety strategies to reduce vehicle crashes, and places emphasis on creating safe, liveable streets that encourage walking for short journeys.

The Auckland Regional Road Safety Plan 2009–2012 has been prepared by the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) in collaboration with the region’s road-controlling authorities, other transport and public health stakeholders, and communities.

This plan has been developed from the 2005 Auckland Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS), and recognises the importance that the promotion of road safety plays in the region’s transport network, and the contribution road safety makes to the region’s wider social and economic outcomes. This plan links to other supporting plans, including the national Road Safety to 2010 strategy, Road Policing Strategy 2010, Regional Arterial Roads Plan, Regional Sustainable Transport Plan, and seven local Road Safety Action Plans.

Our Vision

A safer transport system in which no law-abiding road users are killed or seriously injured on Auckland roads.

Our Mission

By 2012 the Auckland region, using proven cost effective interventions, leads the country in road safety by achieving a 3% decline in the number of casualties per 10,000 people and per kilometres traveled, to take the nation closer to the Government goal of reduced deaths and serious injuries from road crashes.

Regional 2012 Goal

By 2012 there will be fewer than 400 fatal and serious crashes, an equivalent 18% decrease from the three year annual average recorded between 2005 and 2007.
