Road safety display trailers
About the trailers
WALGA's RoadWise Program received funding through the Road Trauma Trust Account(RTTA) to build a number of road safety display trailers which aim to assist members of the community road safety network to promote road safety at community events across the state.
Fostering community support is vital for the effective implementation of Towards Zero, the WA road safety strategy and the safe system approach to road safety. The road safety display trailers will assist with generating this community support.
In regional areas, numerous community events are held each year. These events generally attract local residents and visitors, offering opportunities for increased exposure to key road safety messages and campaigns at the community level.
The trailers will complement similar trailers already in operation in some regions and provide a transportable and durable road safety resource, suitable for outdoor (and certain indoor) display purposes.
Road safety displays will be made easy with the display trailers, reducing much of the organisation and logistics required when planning a display. All resources and merchandise are contained within the trailer, which is easily transported and quick to assemble.
Road Safety Council member agencies, other road safety partners/organisations and community groups have access to the new road safety display trailers.
