The Government will boost road safety investment by 25 per cent, spending roughly $1 billion on road safety improvements each year over the next decade. The safety spend was unveiled its final road safety strategy, Road to Zero, unveiled by Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter on Thursday. It gives a glimpse into the Government's next three-year land transport General Policy Statement on land transport, which sets out what it would like to spend on land transport. The next GPS is due in 2021, and will include this increased road safety allocation. Genter defended her choice to boost spending on road safety improvements.
