T0372 Road to Zero Harm Phase 2-5

Tender description

The aim of this programme is to develop a roadmap which will be formulated into an effective and economically efficient road safety action plan, primarily but not exclusively for National Highways. The roadmap will list the specific countermeasures that, over defined timeframes, can ensure National Highways achieves its longer term Zero Harm target; in other words it will act as a 'what' to the 'why' represented by the vision of Zero Harm. The action plan will define the detailed actions that need to be taken by National Highways in order to enable the countermeasures to be implemented; in other words, it will be the 'how'. The success of this roadmap and the action plan relies on achieving the buy in, and active participation from the full range of external organisations responsible for safety critical aspects of the road system These organisations have important stakes in road safety, nationally, and on the SRN and the development processes and evolution of the roadmap needs to be auditable and defendable. All work must be evidence-based, with the reasons for the inclusion and exclusion of approaches or countermeasures clear and defensible throughout the development process.
