The RoadWise Program is the WA Local Government Association's Community Road Safety Program and has been in operation since 1994.

The aim of WALGA’s road safety programs is, on a state-wide basis, to facilitate the active engagement and involvement of Local Governments and the community (through the community road safety network) in effectively contributing to the adoption and application of the safe system approach and the implementation of specific initiatives of the Towards Zero, Western Australian Road Safety Strategy 2008-2020.

The Program consists of a community road safety network, supported by regional road safety officers who work with Local Government, RoadWise Committees, road safety partner agencies and the administration of the Community Road Safety Grants Program.

Three levels of coordination (State, Regional and Local) make up the Operational Framework for road safety in Western Australia.

The RoadWise Program is supported by the Road Safety Council of WA and funded through the Road Trauma Trust Account; which is two third's of speed and red light camera infringements received in Western Australia.

Local Government Road Safety Awards The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (WA Division) and the Western Australian Local Government Association invite Local Governments to nominate projects for the 2012 Local Government Road Safety Awards. The awards seek to acknowledge outstanding achievements by Local Governments in contributing to the creation of a safe road transport system in WA. For more information visit the Local Government Road Safety Awards page or contact Trish Strickland on phone 9213 2055 or email pstrickland@walga.asn.au.

Blessing of the Roads 2012 Campaign WALGA's RoadWise Program is once again encouraging Local Governments to participate in the 2012 Blessing of the Roads campaign. Local Governments formally bless the roads as part of an official ceremony in the week leading up to the Easter long weekend (6-9 April 2012).
