Response to ʻVision Zeroʼ ACT Road Safety Strategy 2011 – 2020 Discussion Paper
30 September 2010
ATODA offers to support the ACT Government in further developing the impaired driving component of the ACT Road Safety Strategy, in particular by drawing on the expertise of its members in this area. That expertise covers areas as diverse as treatment, prevention, policy analysis and research.  We also emphasise the importance, in the impaired driving section, to focus on these population groups where the most road safety gains are likely to be derived in the most cost- effective manner, namely repeat offenders and those with high blood alcohol concentrations.  We also emphasise the importance of a multifaceted intervention strategy with these people that includes case finding, systematic assessment of alcohol and other drug dependence issues, retention in treatment and use of alcohol ignition interlocks.
