Reducing motorcycle trauma in the A.C.T.
Serious injury rates and fatality rates per vehicle number for motorcyclists in the ACT are 10 times and 20 times those for cars, respectively. Serious injury rates and fatality rates for motorcyclists have also increased over the past decade. This project furthers our understanding of causal factors in motorcycle crashes in the ACT, and proposes strategies to reduce road trauma amongst motorcyclists. The project is aligned with the Safe Systems strategy, ensuring that our roads are safe for all road users, including motorcyclists. The findings of this report relate to the analysis of ACT motorcyclists injured or killed during the ten year period between 2001 and 2010 (inclusive).
