Focusing investment on zero – a new investment strategy for Victoria’s safe system road infrastructure program (SSRIP)

VicRoads and the TAC (Transport Accident Commission) have recently reviewed the Investment Strategy behind Victoria’s Safe System Road Infrastructure Program (SSRIP). The fulfilment of the Towards Zero vision has been the underlying focus in the development of this revised strategy. The strategy seeks to make investments that meet the requirements of a future Safe System by taking into consideration the vehicles, users and speeds which will be part of this future system rather than those which are present today. The strategy also defines a leading role for Movement and Place in road safety investment decision making.
