The majority of Australians take the road transport system for granted; few appreciating what lies behind moving people and goods seamlessly from A to B. The nation's productivity relies on a safe and efficient transport system. It is the economy's life blood as well as the glue of our social fabric. However, the downside is serious injury and death which we must seek to eliminate. The only time transport comes into focus for the community is when something negative occurs and the lives of "Joe Public" are touched. As the manager of the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) I am privileged to interact with leading organisations where road safety is a core pillar in their daily operations. Almost all organisations — public and private —depend to some degree on safe and efficient road transport, thus Partners in the program come from all sectors, sizes and modes. One sector strongly engaged in the NRSPP is the freight vehicle sector. These Partners are very active, keen to share their knowledge and raise awareness of just how hard they are working to improve road safety; and investing in their drivers and fleets to protect other road users.
