Road to Zero: Road Safety Experience

Years 6, 9 to 11, VCE, VCE VM

A world-first road safety education experience for young people.

Road to Zero is a road safety education complex developed by the Transport Accident Commission in partnership with Melbourne Museum.

Road to Zero draws upon decades of TAC research and pedagogical practice, and is co-created with practicing teachers. Part of the Victorian Government’s road safety strategy, it aims to reduce road trauma in pre-learner drivers by building knowledge and awareness that will empower young road users to make safe decisions.

An education visit to Road to Zero comprises two experiences: the Road to Zero Experience Space - an immersive and exploratory gallery showcasing the latest in multi-sensory interactive technologies, and curriculum-linked programs in the purpose-built Learning Studios.

Highlights from the Road to Zero Experience Space include a 3-minute virtual reality experience where students travel in a car from 1970 to 2055, an elevator simulation where students experience a dramatic ‘drop’ from the 11th floor of the Royal Exhibition Building, as well as a digital exploration of the Transport Accident Commission’s well-known Graham sculpture. To learn more about the Experience Space please visit the Road to Zero website.
