| About Road Safety Council | |
Our Profile
The Road Safety Council was founded in 1983 as a government advisory body to promote road safety in Hong Kong. Chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), with a membership drawn from seven Government Bureaux and Departments and six non-government organisations, the Council is committed to reducing the number and severity of traffic accidents in Hong Kong by identifying road safety initiatives and introducing education and publicity programmes to target groups.
The Council comprises two committees and two working groups, namely the Road Safety Campaign Committee (RSCC), the Road Safety Research Committee (RSRC), the Road Safety Publicity Strategy Working Group and the Road Safety Council Annual Report Working Group.
The Road Safety Publicity Strategy Working Group formulates publicity plans for examination by the Road Safety Campaign Committee and is its executive arm for road safety educational and publicity events. The Road Safety Research Committee is responsible for technical research with regard to enhancing road safety. Each year, the annual report is prepared by the Road Safety Council Annual Report Working Group.
Our Vision
The Council will continue to pursue the vision: 'Zero Accidents on the Road, Hong Kong's Goal' and to make Hong Kong one of the world's safest cities for road users.
