The Motorcycle Safety Action Plan (the Plan) sets the strategic direction for the Victorian Road Safety Partners to strengthen motorcyclist safety.
The Plan sets the strategic direction for Victoria’s Road Safety Partners to help make riders safer across Victoria and forms part of the ongoing commitment to saving lives under Victoria’s 10-year Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030.
Motorcyclists are over-represented in road trauma and comprise a growing proportion of all lives lost on Victorian roads. That’s why this Plan continues to deliver initiatives that make a real difference to motorcyclist safety.
Actions will be delivered by Victoria’s Road Safety Partners:
- Department of Transport and Planning
- Victoria Police
- Transport Accident Commission
- Department of Justice and Community Safety
- Department of Health.
The Plan was developed with input from more than 100 stakeholders from across government, local councils, rider groups, training providers, motorcycle manufacturers and retailers.
