About The Program

The VRU Program is designed to engage with new drivers to give them greater insight, awareness, and respect for motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. This reduces the risk of harm to these vulnerable road users who lack the crash protection of larger vehicles.

  • Shared Rights: Motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists.
  • Sustainable Transport: Recognise the role active travel plays in improving congestion and road safety.
  • Crash Reduction: If just 10% of Canberrans changed to non-car transport, we could see dramatic decreases in crashes.

Why it Matters

Casualty Statistics

Over the last 10 years, there has been an average of 630 serious injuries and ten fatalities on ACT roads each year. Of these, VRUs have represented 40% of all casualties.

This program will greatly increase your awareness of other road users and help make you a more considerate driver.
