Welcome to Saferoads 2004!

In 2003, 333 people were killed on Victorian Roads with many more seriously injured. The cost and impact of road trauma to the community is high both in social and economic terms. Community involvement and participation is vital in reducing the toll.

The Saferoads Partnership, consisting of representatives from VicRoads, Victoria Police, Transport Accident Commission, Municipal Association of Victoria, Local Government Professionals and the RACV is proud to host the third Victorian Local Government Road Safety Conference.

The 2004 conference will be combined with the annual conference for RoadSafe Community Road Safety Councils. The expanded conference is to be held from Thursday 29 April to Saturday 1 May 2004 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Collins Street Melbourne.
