In response to over-representation of Aboriginal people in road crash statistics, the Road Safety Council of Western Australia has introduced the Aboriginal road safety stakeholder - implementation manual, as a means of outlining contributing issues and circumstances, and identifying practical strategies for minimising deaths and injuries on Western Australian roads. The Implementation manual is part of the current five-year strategy - 'Arriving safely: Western Australian road safety strategy 2003-2007', which identifies pedestrian safety, unsafe travel, and drink driving, as the main road safety concerns identified in Aboriginal road crash statistics.
The manual and associated resources are designed to assist road safety stakeholders and others to identify priorities for action, and the most appropriate approaches to achieve successful outcomes.
