  2. ASEANREGIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY • Background and Current Status • Principles and Methodology • Identified Challenges and Issues • Content

  3. REGIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY:BACKGROUND AND CURRENT STATUS • Terms of reference developed and consultant appointed (May 2014) • Background, context and issues report • 5 year strategy • Draft strategy (not annual or bi-annual plan) • Broad directions and approaches. • Stakeholder inputs required • Finalization and endorsement.

  4. REGIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY:GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Overall alignmentwith global five pillar strategy and country strategy/plans • Data driven where possible but alternative approaches where data is not currently available • Incorporating targets and monitoring • Approaches and directions based on identified good practice and focused • ASEAN MSRSSWG appropriate

  5. CONTEXTUAL MODEL

  6. METHODOLOGY • Documents reviewed includes: • previous regional road safety plan, current national road safety plans and issues • Prepare summary of road safety context and issues for each ASEAN member • describe geography, demographics, road fatality patterns, institutional capacity • Develop innovative methods to track progress across countries over a period of time • potential new qualitative star rating system for behavioural measures • develop Road Safety Maturity Index • Input from representatives from ASEAN countries. in progress

  7. REGIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY:CHALLENGES • Diversity across ASEAN countries: • current road safety levels • road user mixes • legislative frameworks • data availability • acceptability of different road safety programs • Performance Indicator: • How to measure in each country how to combine to allow assessment of overall improvements across ASEAN • Performance Monitoring: • ASEAN (MRSSWG) Working and Monitoring

  8. PERFORMANCE INDICATORCRITERIA FOR A GOOD SYSTEM • Balance: simple and valid • Simple • well understood by people of all levels of education • easy and cheap for all countries to collect the information needed to decide how many stars to allocate • Valid • measures what it is supposed to measure • 4in one country should be safer than 3  in another country (for example) • complex and difficult to understand and expensive

  9. PERFORMANCE MONITORINGQUANTITATIVE vs QUALITATIVE • QUANTITATIVE: requires data collection • involve surveys or analyses of databases or require improvements to crash data • QUALITATIVE: in general doesn’t require data collection • indicators such as whether legislation has been introduced

  10. QUANTITATIVE APPROACHEXAMPLES • For helmet wearing, a quantitative approach might look like: • if 1-20% of riders wear helmets •  if 21-40% of riders wear helmets •  if 41-60% of riders wear helmets •  if 61-80% of riders wear helmets •  if 81-100% of riders wear helmets

  11. QUALITATIVE APPROACHEXAMPLE • For helmet wearing, a qualitative star rating system for helmet wearing might look like: • if there is a program of promotion or public education •  if there are mandatory standards •  if there are mandatory standards and mandatory helmet law •  if there is enforcement as well as mandatory standards and mandatory helmet law •  if the level of helmet wearing is more than 95%

  12. DISCUSSIONSASEAN MSRSSWG • Consultations, inputs and approval • MSRSSWG structural challenges to managing strategy. • Harmonisationstandards, rules and leg. • Capacity Building • Knowledge and information through research and evaluation • Monitoring and reporting progress.

  13. CONCLUSIONS • Multiple rounds of consultations, inputs and approvals to develop an accepted strategy • Regional strategy very different from a national strategy • Tension between strategy and action plan • Importance of strategy being supported by package of technical actions
