- To prevent death and injury on the roads through education of all road users and campaigning for Governance improvements to road safety.
- To promote a positive attitude of law enforcement officials and infuse a sense of courtesy and safety awareness among road users.
- To monitor relevant road statistics both locally and internationally on an ongoing basis in order to effect improvements.
