	In a bid to help reduce further the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, the Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership, or DRIVESAFE as it is also known, has been reformed to incorporate all aspects of road safety, including speeding. DRIVESAFE is still working towards the Greater Manchester target of a 50% reduction in the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads before 2010 and although it has been very successful to date, the Partnership is always looking at ways to improve itself.
	In 2003, Greater Manchester formed a multi-agency partnership made up of the 8 borough and two city authorities with the county, the Highways Agency, Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, MPCT, Her Majesty's Courts Service and the Crown Prosecution Service. The partners are all fully committed to working together to address the issue of road safety through a mix of engineering, education and enforcement initiatives.
