Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) today (Tuesday, October 15, 2024) endorsed the Toowoomba Region Road Safety Strategy 2024-2028, which is designed to achieve a safer road environment and encourage safer road user behaviour.
TRC Transport and Drainage Planning portfolio spokesperson, Cr Trevor Manteufel, said the 2024-2028 strategy underlines Council's commitment to work towards significantly reducing road trauma across our Region.
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'.
"Council is working towards a vision of zero road deaths and serious injuries in our Region," Cr Manteufel said.
"The 2024-2028 strategy proposes a framework for Council, its key road safety stakeholders and the broader community to work on this vision together.
