BTCE (1992) Social cost of transport accidents in Australia, Report 79, p. 52, estimated the total cost of rail accidents in 1988 as $94.5 million (in 1988 dollars).

The value of transport safety is an important input to decisions on policies and investments with safety implications and for measuring the burden of transport accidents to the community.

During the 1990s, around 2000 people per year died and over 20 000 per year sustained serious injuries on Australian roads.

The Federal Government has, since 1990–91, allocated substantial resources through its Black Spot Program to reduce the number and severity of crashes at black spot locations as part of its overall road safety strategy.

This report is the third in a series covering the socio-economic costs of transport accidents in Australia. Transport accidents impose a significant burden on the Australian community.

On rural roads, the speed that a driver chooses will affect their travel time, vehicle operating costs and crash costs.
