Safe System Embedment project concepts High-level objectives
1. Safe System Embedment in Frameworks and Processes
  • To ensure Safe System is embedded and included in every decision in the road safety management and project governance processes
2. Safe System and Future Planning
  • To work closely with practitioners and officers from various divisions and areas within the department to ensure Safe System is embedded in their activities. Areas include: network planning, network integration, corridor planning, precinct planning, movement and place and other key planning areas
3. Early, Proactive Safe System Integration
  • To provide practical Safe System advice and support to key stakeholders during early stages of programs and projects
4. Safe System Embedment KPIs and Reporting
  • To develop Safe System performance metrics in alignment with Safe System Embedment and the state road safety strategy
5. Safe System Plans for Regions and LGAs
  • To support regions and LGAs to adopt the learnings of the Safe System Embedment and enhance their Safe System plans, targets, KPIs etc
6. Best-Practice Safe System Case Studies
  • To provide clear, easy-to-use Safe System practice and solutions for persistent road safety problems that block key stakeholders
  • To provide communication and engagement material to all road safety practitioners, leaders, managers, politicians, advocacy groups to barrack for Safe System
  • To determine Safe System knowledge gaps amongst key stakeholders and provide them with best-practice Safe System measures and advice
7. Design Innovation project for specific issues
  • To identify gaps in our Safe System infrastructure ‘toolkit’ that result in non-Safe System compliant outcomes on the network (e.g., the available measures for high-speed intersections and Vulnerable Road Users, and non-Safe System compliant speed limits)
  • To develop innovative solutions to address gaps in the toolkit
8. Safe System Capability Improvement
  • To uplift practical Safe System knowledge amongst key stakeholders inside and outside the Department of Transport
  • To encourage politicians, leaders, managers, and decision makers to fully include Safe System in their decision making and communications
9. Pilot review of analysis of Safe System principles in fatality crashes for system learnings
  • To create an in-depth understanding of systemic failures that contribute to fatal and serious injuries on our roads
  • To identify the roles and responsibilities of key players in the transport system to address the systemic failures
