Background

The Community Road Safety Partnerships (CRSP) Program has been implemented by the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources (DIER) to develop partnerships with local government authorities and associated community networks to achieve a greater focus on road safety outcomes at a local community level.

Each participating community has identified advisory committees to oversee the development of action plans and the implementation of local road safety activities, which target key local issues.

The CRSP program aims to maximise the delivery of road safety activities by linking with existing community networks, such as local road safety groups, Police and community liaison committees and community safety organisations.

Through the CRSP program community organisations are being mobilised to embrace road safety and to address important state and local issues. This is being achieved primarily through public awareness raising and community education programs.

The CRSP program is all about “grass roots” community development processes. Through this “bottom up” approach communities are supported in developing and implementing their own informed locally based solutions to road safety issues.

Current Situation

Currently, the participating CRSP communities are fully involved in the operational phase of the project. Consultants from DIER’s Road Safety Operations Branch are working very closely with local government officers and an extensive network of community organisations to further promote road safety at the ‘grass roots’ local level.
