Travel Safe

Travel Safe is an all-ages community focused approach to road safety in Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty.

A joint initiative between Tauranga City Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council, NZ Police, and NZ Transport Agency. The Travel Safe team partner with and work alongside communities, schools, parents, caregivers, volunteers, and students, to deliver programmes and initiatives to reduce accidents and improve road safety.

The programmes are developed to address identified high risks for targeted audiences.

Travel Safe is driven by guiding principles:

  • listening to communities
  • keeping it simple and flexible
  • developing community and school ownership at the beginning
  • strengthening community action
  • developing personal skills
  • creating supportive environments
  • supporting building healthy public policy
  • valuing volunteers
