Road to Zero
It’s time we stopped paying the road toll.
We have a vision of zero deaths and serious injuries on New Zealand roads.
A vision where everyone, whether they’re walking, cycling, driving, motorcycling or taking public transport, can get to where they’re going safely.
It might sound impossible, but Aotearoa has a plan to get there. It’s called Road to Zero. (link to Waka Kotahi & resources)
