Are you confused about the state-of-play with regard to the 33 recommendations delivered by the WA Parliamentary Inquiry into eRideable and e-bike safety in its December Ride Safe report?
The WA Government this week gave near-unanimous support to the 33 recommendations, with many caveats based on Federal Government action first.
Before this, WestCycle produced a forensic analysis of the Ride Safe report and gave our position on each of its 33 recommendations from the riding community perspective. Our analysis was sent to key figures in the WA Government and other stakeholders in the lead-up to yesterday’s announcement.
“WestCycle’s approach to improving e-mobility safety follows a clear hierarchy: fix the supply of dangerous devices first; create safer streets second; invest in education third; and use enforcement as a last resort,” said WestCycle CEO Wayne Bradshaw.
“This order of priority runs through our responses to the Committee’s recommendations and should guide the Government’s decisions about where to act first and where to direct resources.”
