Safe System Snippet 559: 𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕

E-scooter injury rates increased from 0.3 to 14.9 per 100,000 population between 2018 and 2023, and the trend is still rising (source: MUARC).

As more young people begin using e-scooters and making independent transport decisions, the need for practical road safety education has never been greater. Yet this is also the exact stage where there is often a major gap in the road safety curriculum.

That’s why 𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕 exists.

𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕 is an award winning Australian Government initiative designed to help prepare children for safer independent travel, whether that’s on foot, on wheels, or using public transport.

The program is already being delivered in schools across Australia and focuses on practical, real world road safety skills that are increasingly important in today’s transport environment.

If your school, council, or organisation is interested in delivering 𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚝𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚕, get in contact with the Safe System Solutions team.
