Increasing WA research capability and local applied research
In 2019, the State Government entered into a five-year, $4.6 million Funding Agreement with the University of Western Australia to establish the Western Australian Centre for Road Safety Research (WACRSR).
Under the Funding Agreement, the WACRSR develops Western Australia’s capability and capacity in road safety research. The WACRSR also conducts an annual program of planned research, and research that responds to emerging issues, that aims to advance knowledge and understanding of road safety issues and assist the Road Safety Commission’s implementation of priority areas under Driving Change 2020-2030.
The research program is developed by the Road Safety Commission and the WACRSR with the input of various road safety stakeholder agencies.
