To ensure the safe operation of public transport a number of initiatives have been developed. VicRoads and Public Transport Safety from the Department of Infrastructure have developed a number of these initiatives, which focus on trams and buses. One of VicRoads objectives is to facilitate delivery of the Government's agenda for greater integration of transport modes. As manager of Victoria's arterial roads, one of the organisation's aims is to optimise the safe operation of the arterial road network for all road users, including those who travel by public transport. In July 2003 VicRoads commissioned Booz Allen Hamilton to undertake a study into public transport passengers safety and security on the arterial road network. That study highlighted a number of issues focusing on tram and bus stops and ways to improve the actual and perceived safety and security issues for tram and bus passengers.
