This RTTA Program Evaluation Framework aims to guide rigorous and robust program evaluations that will inform decision making, planning and practice to enhance road safety in Western Australia. It specifies parameters for the conduct of evaluation of programs funded by the Road Trauma Trust Account (RTTA). It is based on the Program Evaluation Guide published by the Department of Treasury and evaluation documents published by the Commonwealth Department of Finance.
Performance in the road safety portfolio is complex. Credible and systematic evaluation is imperative to understand what works and why, to improve service delivery, implementation of programs and enhance government accountability.
Evaluation of road safety programs, interventions and initiatives is assessed against the elements of a road safety system described in the WA Road Safety Framework, which is delineated in the Driving Change Road Safety Strategy 2020-2030, and general measurements that indicate progress, as set out in the Road Safety System Outcomes Framework.
