On behalf of councils, ALGA attended the recent Australasian College of Road Safety (ACRS) annual conference in Hobart to engage with industry experts, policy-makers and leaders.

ALGA is committed to empowering local governments to improve road safety outcomes and reduce fatalities on local roads.

Last year, there were more than 1200 fatalities on Australia’s roads, and 40,000 people were seriously injured, which leaves lasting impacts on the lives of victims and families, and costs the Australian economy around $30 billion a year.

With local governments managing over 75 per cent of the nation’s road network, ALGA looks forward to using the learnings and outcomes of the ACRS Conference to benefit councils and communities.
