Many schools, community groups and the general public are concerned about the level of road trauma among young people.

The School-Based Road Safety Programme is designed to create road users who are able and motivated to access and use information from their environment to keep themselves, their peers, families and wider community safe from harm on our roads.

Students who have a strong sense of belonging in the school community are less likely to engage in risky behaviour, and this effect is strongest among students from disadvantaged families.

Effective partnerships between parents, whānau, communities and schools lead to improved educational, social and behavioural outcomes.
