From 1982 until 1990, Operation Countdown was an annual
Police operation to highlight the importance of vehicle
road-worthiness. On 1st July 1990 a program trust was
established as trustee for Operation Countdown Limited.
This company is limited by guarantee, does not have
share capital and does not trade in its own right. The
company was established as “an association of free
enterprise and Victoria Police, dedicated to the
maximisation of support for road safety awareness”.
Victoria Police, in accordance with the Victorian
Government’s Road Safety Strategy ‘arrive alive’
aims to reduce the incidence, severity and cost to
the community of road trauma. This strategy places
great emphasis on participation from community
groups and organisations, recognising that road
trauma reduction is a shared responsibility.
