THE CORE OBJECTIVES OF THE RYDA PROGRAM
The core objectives of the RYDA Program are to:
Supply an informative road safety education resource to secondary schools to be
used in conjunction with, and as assistance to, the school curriculum;
Create awareness in students of the causes of road crashes and supply some
practical strategies for avoiding involvement;
Create an understanding through the school community to the broader
community that road safety is a community problem and that we have an
individual and collective responsibility for the safety, health and security of each
other.
