(1-3) Western Australia Police have no formal involvement with the Road Aware program.
(4) No. The program ended by Western Australia Police in 2005 was the Bike Ed program and was not associated with the Road Aware program.
(5) The Department of Education and Training, in conjunction with the Catholic Education Office and the Association of Independent Schools, commenced implementing various road safety education programs in all schools in 2003. A component of the Road Aware program is the Road Aware Kids program which contains elements that deal with personal attitudes and actions to promote safety. This includes matters such as selecting and maintaining a bicycle, helmet and protective equipment, selecting safer places to ride and analysis of scenarios to identify factors that influence cycling and riding behaviour, but does not include practical bicycle education training.
