Road to Zero

Road to Zero is a world-first road safety education complex, developed by the TAC in partnership with Melbourne Museum. It aims to reduce road trauma in pre-learner drivers by building knowledge and awareness that will empower young road users to make safer decisions.

The program is designed for Year 9 and 10 students, and VCAL students. It can also cater to students participating in wellbeing or city camp programs. An education visit to Road to Zero is comprised of two experiences: an immersive and exploratory exhibition showcasing the latest in multi-sensory interactive technologies, and curriculum-linked programs in the purpose-built Learning Studio. To book a class excursion to Road to Zero, contact the Melbourne Museum school bookings line: (03) 8341 7767.
