Strategic fit for road safety promotion

 

Introduction
 This page relates to the 2012-15 NLTP A National Land Transport Programme Interrelated and complementary combination of activities that, when delivered in a coordinated manner, produce synergies – can span more than one work category and more than one activity class, e.g. a programme could include a road improvement and public transport improvement activities. adopted by the NZTA under section 19 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied only.

 

For the latest information, please see the Assessment Framework for the 2015-18 NLTP.

 

This section sets out the guidance on assessing strategic fit for activities within the road safety promotion activity class.

 

The road safety promotion activity class incorporates:

  • Work category 432 - Promotion, education and advertising.

 

Default strategic fit

By default, the strategic fit rating for road safety promotion activities is low.

 

Requirements for medium rating

A road safety promotion programme may be given a medium strategic fit rating if it comprises of road user behaviour change activities for reducing the actual crash risk or predicted crash risk The predicted crash risk is calculated using crash prediction models outlined in section A6 of the NZTAs Economic Evaluation Manual.  A high predicted fatal and serious crash rate is greater than 3 fatal and serious crashes over a 5 year period or 5 fatal and serious crashes in the last 10 years  involving deaths and serious injuries through:

  • national programmes in a Safer Journeys area of medium concern The medium priorities that need to be addressed but relative to the high priorities require less change in policy or practice to improve safety in Safer Journeys action plan A action plan to develop and implement initiatives over a specified period for Safer Journeys The government's strategy to guide improvements in road safety over the period 2010–2020. http://www.transport.govt.nz/saferjourneys/Pages/default.aspx . http://www.transport.govt.nz/saferjourneys/Pages/default.aspx . These include: - Improving the safety of the light vehicle fleet - Safe walking and cycling - Improving the safety of heavy vehicles - Reducing the impact of fatigue - Addressing distraction - Reducing the impact of high risk drivers
  • local programmes in a Safer Journeys area of medium concern The medium priorities that need to be addressed but relative to the high priorities require less change in policy or practice to improve safety in Safer Journeys action plan A action plan to develop and implement initiatives over a specified period for Safer Journeys The government's strategy to guide improvements in road safety over the period 2010–2020. http://www.transport.govt.nz/saferjourneys/Pages/default.aspx . http://www.transport.govt.nz/saferjourneys/Pages/default.aspx . These include: - Improving the safety of the light vehicle fleet - Safe walking and cycling - Improving the safety of heavy vehicles - Reducing the impact of fatigue - Addressing distraction - Reducing the impact of high risk drivers
  • local programmes for a community at medium risk
  • national programmes that support local programmes for a community at medium risk

 

Requirements for high rating

A high strategic fit rating must only be given to road safety promotion programmes if they are comprised of road user behaviour change activities for reducing the actual crash risk involving deaths and serious injuries:
