Road Smart Interactive is an evidence based, highly interactive road safety education incursion that is free for students in Years 9, 10 and 11 and those undertaking the VCE Vocational Major across all Victorian secondary schools.

Using the latest technology, it engages students to explore road safety and how they can play a part in reducing road trauma.

Adapted from Road to Zero at Melbourne Museum, it promotes meaningful discussions about road safety with students, staff, and the broader school community, helping build a safer, healthier school environment.
