This goal is about making sure everyone, regardless of their background, gets a good education. It encourages access to schools, training, and learning resources, especially for disadvantaged or marginalized groups. Goal 4 aims to create equal opportunities for girls and boys, ensure education systems are well-funded, and improve the quality of teaching, so that students develop skills that help them succeed in life and work.
Goal 10 is about reducing the gap between rich and poor, both within countries and globally. It focuses on providing equal opportunities for everyone, including those who face discrimination due to factors like race, gender, disability, or economic status.

Strategy:
The Towards Zero campaign aims to reduce road deaths and serious injuries by promoting safe driving behaviors such as avoiding speeding, drink driving, and distractions. It also focuses on improving road conditions and raising awareness about road safety for all age groups.
Outcome:
Fewer road accidents, injuries, and fatalities, contributing to healthier lives and improved well-being for people of all ages. This helps NSW align with Goal 3 by ensuring road safety supports community health.
Strategy:
NSW provides Road Safety Education Programs in schools, such as Safety Town and Road Safety in the School Curriculum. These initiatives teach students how to safely navigate roads and develop lifelong safety habits.
Outcome:
Students gain essential knowledge and skills related to road safety, leading to safer behaviors on roads as they grow older. This supports Goal 4 by embedding road safety education into school curriculums, promoting lifelong learning and safety.
Strategy:
The Safer Roads Program targets rural and regional areas, improving road infrastructure where accidents and fatalities are more common, ensuring equal access to safer roads outside urban centers.
Outcome:
Reduced road fatalities and injuries in disadvantaged or remote areas, decreasing the gap in road safety between rural and urban regions. This aligns with Goal 10 by addressing inequality in road safety infrastructure and access to safe roads for all.
Strategy:
The NSW Safer Cities initiative and Active Transport Strategy promote road design improvements, safer walking and cycling infrastructure, and the use of public transport to reduce car reliance.
Outcome:
Safer and more inclusive cities with improved road conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users. This supports Goal 11 by creating sustainable, resilient urban environments that promote safer and more efficient transport systems.
