Highlights for the 2001-02 Annual Report include:
- The launch of the Victorian Government arrive alive! road safety strategy for 2002-07. The strategy aims to reduce annual death and serious injury on Victoria’s roads by 20 per cent by 2007, and provides a clear program of initiatives for VicRoads and other organisations to address.
- The opening of the Woodend bypass in December 2001. The diversion of heavy traffic onto the bypass has allowed residents to reclaim their township, boosting quality of life and tourism prospects.
- Improvement of 399 blackspot sites throughout Victoria.
- Completion of 92 bicycling projects, providing an additional 195 km of bicycle paths in metropolitan and regional Victoria.
- Extension of VicRoads licensing activities to develop and operate a boat operator licensing system for Marine Safety Victoria. This followed the introduction of compulsory licensing of recreational power boats.
- Victoria becoming the first state to introduce a written-off vehicles register, as part of a national program to reduce vehicle theft by closing off the opportunities for fraudulent re-registration of stolen vehicles.
- VicRoads achieving Australia’s lowest annual cost for servicing vehicle registration and driver licences.
