In 2008, after six consecutive years of reductions, NSW had a record low road toll of 374 - the lowest since 1944. By the end of June 2009, NSW had seen an alarming increase in the road toll which had increased by 50 fatalities when compared to the same period this time last year.
In an attempt to address this tragic increase in the road toll, the Minister for Police and the Minister for Roads called a Road Toll Roundtable to be set up with the purpose of engaging experts in the field of road safety to examine critical issues.
The Roundtable took place on 9 July 2009. The group met to hear presentations from the NSW Centre for Road Safety and NSW Police.
The NSW Government response to the Roundtable is below.
