De CEO van iRAP, Rob McInerney, werd onlangs gevraagd om een persoonlijk perspectief op COVID-19 en verkeersveiligheid te delen voor de Australasian College of Road Safety (ACRS) wekelijkse nieuwsbrief\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lees het volledige antwoord in de ACRS-nieuwsbrief hier<\/a><\/p>\n

Hier zijn enkele fragmenten vanuit Robs perspectief met betrekking tot de Australische en Nieuw-Zeelandse reactie op COVID-10 en verkeersveiligheid.<\/p>\n

Gelukkig heeft onze reactie op de COVID-19-crisis in Australi\u00eb en Nieuw-Zeeland de nodige urgentie en omvang gekregen, en ondanks enkele recente tegenslagen zouden we trots moeten zijn op onze besluitvormers en hun moed. Hoe hoog zouden de verkeersongevallen-cijfers in dit land zijn als we met dezelfde moed, durf, intellect, investering en co\u00f6rdinatie zouden reageren als bij COVID-19?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Wat als het besef dat we de komende tien jaar 400.000 Australi\u00ebrs zullen doden en verwonden bij verkeersongevallen ons eindelijk wakker zou schudden en we zouden zeggen: \u201eDat kan toch niet waar zijn!\u201c\u00a0 Wat als we de ongelooflijke schat aan experts in dit land zouden samenbrengen in een crisiscentrum in plaats van op een top, en hen de vrije hand zouden geven? Wat als we 100% van onze energie zouden gebruiken om oplossingen te vinden om onmiddellijk in actie te komen, in plaats van 90% van onze energie te besteden aan het zoeken naar excuses om nee te zeggen en de status quo te handhaven?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

De COVID-19-uitdaging is vaak besproken als een afweging tussen het beschermen van levens en het beschermen van bestaansmiddelen. Er is geen afweging met investeringen om verkeersslachtoffers te verminderen. Het zal levens redden, geld besparen en banen cre\u00ebren. Het zal levens beschermen en bestaansmiddelen beschermen.<\/em><\/p>\n
