“I started working in road safety because I was interested in creating places where people don't have to be fully dependent on their car—but it’s not fair to encourage or expect people to choose other travel options if they’re not safe and easy.
“I’m working to help Aotearoa more broadly and rapidly achieve safe speed limits. Achieving safe speeds on our roads is the fastest and most impactful way to make our streets safe for everyone, and give people more options for how they get around.
“Safe speed limits not only save lives and reduce serious injuries, they make it safer and easier for people to walk, bike, scoot, and access public transport. This means that people have more choices for how they travel, and this is important for so many reasons. We know that active travel means better physical and mental health, more independence for children, young people and the elderly, and also has positive impacts for our environment.”
