Samenvatting
Road crashes impose large human and financial costs on society and substantial investments are made in infrastructure and safety programs to reduce road trauma. The cost of road crashes is important to the safety debate in Australia, and the unit values - particularly for a fatality, injury or cost of a fatal crash - are key inputs into policy development and cost-benefit analysis for safety programs and infrastructure projects. This report presents new estimates of the cost of road crashes for 2006. A key objective of this project was to make these estimates more useful to policymakers and the wider community.
