Awards

The Australasian College of Road Safety Awards celebrate the outstanding projects and people who help save lives and reduce injuries on our roads. Almost all ACRS Awards require nominees to be ACRS members.

The awards are presented at the Australasian Road Safety Conference each year in September.
