Friday 10 March 2023: The NRMA is today bringing its Rate Your Roads campaign to Wagga Wagga to highlight survey results for the local community and thank those who took part.

In the Wagga Wagga local area, Docker Street and Coolamon Road in Downside received votes for better performance.
NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury, thanked the community for helping to again break the record on the number of votes for its Rate Your Road survey and highlighted that the invaluable data would help the organisation fight for better community outcomes over the next four years.
“The NRMA today thanks the community of Wagga Wagga who had their say on what is a critical issue facing our nation and joined a grass roots campaign to make our roads safer and more efficient,” Mr Khoury said.
“A number of local roads were identified in this survey and the NRMA is committed to ensuring this data helps drive sensible funding and policy outcomes across all levels of Government - receiving crucial feedback on roads in regional NSW is particularly helpful.
“This community-led advocacy works – some of the state’s worst roads no longer make the list because Governments have responded by investing in solutions. This has helped make our roads safer for everyone.”
