Towards Zero Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028
The Towards Zero Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028 (Towards Zero 2024-2028) aims to reduce road-related trauma, encourage a responsible road culture and motivate Territorians to be part of the solution to improve road safety outcomes.
Towards Zero 2024-2028 is a 5 year road safety action plan focusing on 10 road safety priority areas for the Northern Territory. The action plan is guided by the National Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan. Towards Zero 2024-2028 was developed in consultation with a range of stakeholders across the Territory including Road Safety Round Tables in Darwin and Alice Springs in 2023, and feedback on the Towards Zero Road Safety Discussion Paper in early 2024.
Over the past 4 decades, the annual average fatality rate has decreased from 68.5 to 41.6. While this is good news, there is still work to be done. Over the last 10 years (2013-22) on average 40 people have lost their lives each year on NT roads.
