NYRF – Research to Young Rider Resource

Taking the results from two Road Safety Trust Grant funded projects, NYRF ‘Young Riders Matter’ and ‘A view from the Saddle’ and turning them into practical resources to reduce Young Rider collisions and casualties, is the aim.  You have done the hard work, been successful in application and delivery, completed the projects on time and within budget - but what you do next can make the real difference!

This presentation will discuss using the outcomes of projects to produce deliverables to reach young riders, road safety professionals, key stakeholders and other road users to effect change.
