Motorcycle strategic planning: putting theory into practice
In 2001, the MCC, a volunteer body representing riders in NSW, undertook the development of a motorcycle safety strategic plan. This was possibly the first instance of a road user group applying strategic planning methods to address their own safety issues. At the time motorcycle casualties in Australia were rising, but there was little government investment in identifying causes or solutions beyond enforcement. Five years later there is an impressive list of achievements which are linked to the strategic plan. In addition to motorcycle safety projects and research, the process has also resulted in more productive relationships between other road safety stakeholders and the motorcycling community. This report provides a practical illustration of the methodology involved in developing a motorcycle safety strategic plan. It demonstrates how the different perspectives of government agencies and the rider community can be brought together to find the optimal approach to improving motorcycle safety. Discussion will include focus on what we learned from the process and how it has been applied to the development of a new plan in 2006 for the period to 2010.
