The issue of road safety affects every Western Australian. We are at risk every time we get in a car, walk down the street, or go for a bike ride. The risk for children is even greater. Road-related trauma is the greatest cause of injury and fatality for children 12 years and under. Since 1996, more than 1,600 Western Australian school children have been injured in traffic crashes in the hours immediately prior to and immediately after school. Of these casualties, 7 were fatal and 242 required hospital treatment. These statistics highlight the importance of involving schools in road safety. In 1994 RoadWise developed the Safe Routes to Schools program to assist local communities address their own local road safety issues through local actions and strategies. To date, over 300 Western Australian primary schools have adopted this program to create safer road environments and encourage safer road users in and around their school communities. |
