2. The Current State of Road Safety Removal of Road Safety Grant…no dedicated RS funding anymore; Revenue based funding is always the first target for cuts; Casualty levels are still on a downward trend nationally…..well done everyone!

3. Identify the problem Get clever about data collection! -Mapping Exercise (casualties across the district); -Stats 19 and health data; Break down the types of injury and casualty; Make the people responsible for the decision making aware; Secure enough financial support to deal with the issue.

4. All Injuries in West Yorkshire

5. Overcoming the Reduction in Funding…. Setting local targets……. NI47 and NI48 (Child and All KSIs) West Yorkshires Local Transport Plan has an aspirational target of attaining a 50% reduction in KSIs by 2026 from the 05-09 baseline. This helps identify the issue with the people that need to know and will help with the budget making process; Targets have a proven track record.

6. Partnership Working Do you have a Safer Roads Partnership? Do you have a Road Safety Plan? –Emergency Services; –Public Health; –Safe Guarding Board; –Neighbourhood Services; –Road Safety; –Highways –Transport bodies (bus, freight, cycle groups, pedestrian groups).
