'Road safety starts with me'. It's the clear message that Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) and emergency services want all road users to always keep front of mind.
The message was repeated at today's (August 21) 2023 Queensland Road Safety Week launch at the Highfields Shopping Centre, where Council was joined by representatives from the Queensland Police Service, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, the Queensland Ambulance Service, the Department of Transport and Main Roads and community road safety education organisations.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Geoff McDonald said Council was determined to focus attention on residents' individual responsibility to make a positive difference on the roads.
"We must all adopt the attitude that everyone plays a role to keep our roads safe," Mayor McDonald said.
"Queensland Road Safety Week offers another forum for raising road safety awareness and pledging to work toward saving lives on our roads.
