OBJECTIVES • To compare road safety in a selected number of case studies: 1. Identify good practice in both LICs and HICs 2. Identify shortcomings 3. Summarise lessons learned • Output: GRSP Guidance notes for those involved in RS
13 CASE STUDIES Survey by letter/email/phone/face-to-face: • Organisation • Plans • Funding • Private Sector Participation HIC Asia/Pacific Africa LAC NZ Bangalore (Ind) Ethiopia Chile Sweden Bangladesh Ghana UK Fiji South Africa Victoria Indonesia Zambia (Aus)
ORGANISATION RECOMMENDATIONS GRADUAL APPROACH 1. Define lead responsibility e.g. road authority 2. Police and engineers work together 3. Begin with small NRSCs 4. Use subcommittees 5. Members chosen on commitment 6. Resources are required
PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Define budget 2. Address funding - key priority 3.Local staff to have lead role 4. Identify opportunity rather than need 5. Implementing organisations’ approval required 6. Performance indicators to be agreed 7. Annual work programmes 8. Donor assistance with implementation
FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Funding requires technical specialists 2. RS is a public sector responsibility - dedicated RS budget from Government/ Road maintenance should fund activities 3. Road users should contribute to RS funds 4. Funds from traffic fines should contribute to RS 5. Funds should be setup to cover inter-sectoral RS activities
BUSINESS SECTOR RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Increase involvement of BS in promotion of RS and strategy 2. Use BS management skills 3.Encourage best practice e.g. risk management/driver training 4. Use H&S regulations to increase RS 5. Match sponsors to RS activities 6. Promote BS awards to encourage RS
