Investment planning to meet the 2030 targets in Victoria
The Transport Accident Commission has sought to identify key priorities and opportunities that could lead to a 50 percent reduction of fatalities and MAIS 3+ serious injuries in Victoria from 2020 to 2030. In this work, baseline trauma modelling was first undertaken to estimate the amount and characteristics of residual trauma in Victoria expected during the period 2020-2050, with a particular focus on the target period of 2020-2030, to understand how close to the 2030 targets Victoria would be in a business-as-usual scenario. Response scenarios were then developed with the purpose of closing the gap between the baseline trend and the 2030 injury and fatality targets. Modelling outcomes showed it is possible to achieve a 50 percent reduction of road traffic related MAIS 3+ injured and fatalities in Victoria. However, such reductions require a multidisciplinary response and substantial risk reduction on a network-wide level.
