The Community Action for Safe Speeds (CASS) study offers the opportunity to contribute your thoughts to help create safer journeys on our roads.
Mid-Western regional Council is working with with the George Institute for Global Health, conducting a study that aims to better understand attitudes toward safe speeds on our community’s roads.
We invite you to complete an anonymous 20-minute online survey. You will be asked to complete the survey twice – once now and again in six-months. These surveys will ask basic questions about your demographics, driving behaviours and attitudes to road safety.
Completion of this survey is voluntary and upon completion of both surveys, you will go in the draw for 1 of 4 $250 e-gift vouchers.
To take part you must meet the eligibility criteria.
