The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is responsible for developing a new Road Safety Strategy for the period 2007-2011. They went out to public consultation in October last year and received a substantial number of suggestions and proposals as a result of this process.

The RSA also engaged in a process of direct consultation with key stakeholders in December 2006. The volume of submissions received from these processes were examined by the Authority who are now working towards the finalisation of the new Strategy.

When the new Road Safety Strategy is received my officials and I shall examine the document. Discussions may then take place with the RSA with regard to any changes or revisions that are considered appropriate. I will bring the final document to Government for approval as soon as possible thereafter.
