arrive alive is managed in partnership with community organisations and through a road safety management structure that includes the Premier, government Ministers, and senior officers of Victoria Police, VicRoads, the Transport Accident Commission and the Department of Justice. The Government’s co-ordinated approach to road safety will continue to be led by the three Ministers responsible for road safety in Victoria – the Minister for Roads and Ports, the Minister for Police and Emergency Services and the Minister responsible for the Transport Accident Commission.
This explains the roles of each of these four agencies in achieving the goals set in the arrive alive strategy.
