RAC has scrutinised our 2022 RAC Risky Roads list, to see what safety upgrades are planned, or have been done - across Perth and in regional WA: rac.com.au/about-rac/media/m…
RAC welcomes funding for transport and road safety initiatives in the WA Budget, including the Regional Road Safety Program. But more clarity is needed on future priorities: rac.com.au/about-rac/media/m…
Great to see the Federal Government invest in an Active Transport Fund to deliver better walking and cycling paths @CatherineKingMP.
Making it easier to walk or ride instead of drive is key to reducing emissions and creating more connected communities.

This is an important initiative that will provide more transparency to car-buyers.
We look forward to seeing the first set of results next month.

Engine starts for Real-World Testing 🚗!
Today PM @AlboPM joined us to launch the AAA's Real-World Testing Program.
This program will examine 200 cars in real-world driving conditions, measuring whether their fuel efficiency and emissions match lab results advertised at the point of sale.
Real-World Testing will improve consumer information and deliver truth-in-advertising.
And that will help Australian car buyers cut their fuel bills and reduce their emissions.
Real-World Testing is expected to reduce demand for cars that over-promise and under-deliver.
The Government has allocated $14 million to fund the program over four years.
First results are available in November at the program website and via Australia’s motoring clubs @NRMA , @RACV_Official , @RACQOfficial , @RAAofSA , @RACWA , @RACTOfficial and @aaofnt .
To be among the first to receive them, sign up at realworld.org.au
