Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) is inviting the community to provide feedback on the draft Toowoomba Region Road Safety Strategy 2024-2028.
The 2024-2028 draft strategy aligns with the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 and the Queensland Road Safety Action Plan 2020-2025. It is underpinned by the 'Safe System' approach to road safety, which is framed by the guiding vision that 'no person should be killed or seriously injured on Australia's roads'.
TRC Transport and Drainage Planning portfolio spokesperson, Cr Trevor Manteufel, said the 2024-2028 draft strategy underlines Council's commitment to significantly reducing road trauma across the Region by 2028.
"Council is working towards a vision of zero road deaths and serious injuries in our Region," Cr Manteufel said.
"The 2024-2028 draft strategy proposes a framework for Council, its key road safety stakeholders and the broader community to work on this vision together.
"Loss of life and serious injuries from road crashes have a devastating impact on our community.
"With a network of nearly 6,700 kilometres of sealed and unsealed roads, the safety and wellbeing of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, is a high priority for Council."
