· Alcohol Interlock Demonstration Project (AIDP) The AIDP commenced in January 2011. Alcohol interlocks are being proposed in Western Australia as part of the Repeat Drink Driving Strategy (RDDS) to reduce the incidence of repeat drink driving. The ORS is conducting a demonstration project on the use of alcohol ignition interlock devices in order to assess the impact they have on regional and remote communities in the Pilbara. · Alcohol Interlock Demonstration Project (AIDP) Evaluation The evaluation of the demonstration project will make recommendations for managing the introduction of alcohol interlocks in regional and remote areas of Western Australia, as well as providing useful information for practitioners both nationally and internationally. · Austroads National Indigenous Safe System Demonstration Project On behalf of the National Indigenous Road Safety Working Group, the ORS is leading the development and implementation of the National Indigenous Safe System Demonstration Project. Under this project, the community of Bidyadanga is being used as a case study where identified improvements across the safe system cornerstones (roads and roadsides, safe vehicles, safer road users and safe speeds) are being applied. · Indigenous Road Safety Education Resource The ORS has developed an Indigenous Drink Driving and Licensing Resource Kit to raise the level of awareness among Indigenous people about drink driving and licensing. The education is for use by community organisations and aims to increase knowledge and capacity among Indigenous people. The kit will be ready for distribution in October 2011. · Policy and Strategy Coordination Aboriginal people are over represented not only in drink driving and unlicensed driving but also non use of restraints, pedestrian deaths and road trauma. As such the ORS employs a Senior Policy Officer to provide leadership in coordinating initiatives across government and oversee the development and implementation of Safe System initiatives in Indigenous Road Safety and among other high risk road user groups.
