The Road Safety Authority’s much-loved RSA Shuttle—a mobile interactive road-safety education unit—has begun a newly refreshed tour around the country following a comprehensive refurbishment completed at the end of 2025.
The RSA Shuttle is a highly engaging, simulator-based road safety resource that travels nationwide to schools, colleges, workplaces, and community events.
It offers hands-on experiences designed to improve awareness of road risks and encourage safer behaviour behind the wheel and on the roads.
The Shuttle features:
- Immersive virtual-reality simulations
- Hazard perception games
- Brake-reaction timers
- Plus interactive games tailored to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike
An RSA spokesperson commented:
“Our interactive shuttle is packed with virtual experiences to teach road safety in an engaging way!”

The refurbishment—carried out late last year—brought updated simulator technology and refreshed educational content, enabling visitors to experience new scenarios that reflect current road-safety priorities.
These include:
- Distraction
- Drink-driving risks
- Immersive VR experiences that put users in the shoes of vulnerable road users
Staff from the RSA report that the unit is now better equipped to support young drivers, students and community groups as part of the Authority’s wider educational work.
Touring Ireland With Safety in Mind
Since being relaunched after its upgrade, the RSA Shuttle has already visited several locations across Ireland as part of broader efforts to promote safer road behaviour.
These visits complement a broader national push around events like Irish Road Safety Week, where the Shuttle works alongside other road safety initiatives to bring crucial messages to all ages.
Onboard educators guide participants through realistic driving scenarios and interactive challenges that demonstrate how even small choices like putting the phone away, wearing seatbelts, or allowing extra braking distance can make a lifesaving difference.
Representatives from community groups and schools have welcomed the refurbished Shuttle, saying it brings road-safety education to life in ways traditional classroom lessons cannot.
The RSA Shuttle continues to serve as one of the most visible and interactive outreach tools in the Road Safety Authority’s education portfolio, turning practical, real-world lessons into engaging experiences that support the principles of Vision Zero.
