Engineers influencing road safety in WA

EA Matters May 2018 Case Study
​
Recently the Chair and members of the Transport Australia Society WA committee wrote to the
Road Safety Commissioner about how to improve road safety for the community. As a result of the
letter EA representatives (including David Wilkins from i3 consultants WA) met with WA’s road safety commissioner, Iain Cameron, as well as representatives from his office and Main Roads WA.

As a result, the commissioner is keen to work with Engineers Australia to develop the next road safety strategy for the State. It was particularly pleasing to hear the commissioner saying how vital it is that the road safety engineering leadership voice is heard and that engineering leadership is critical for the paradigm shift to a safe system.
