"We receive many emails, letters and phone calls from people alerting us to issues which they believe deserve more attention," Mr Aplin said, "so we would like to hear the public's suggestions of subjects we should investigate."
Staysafe has undertaken four public inquiries in the 56th Parliament: motorcycle safety, driverless cars, driver education and training, and heavy vehicle safety technology.
"Road safety concerns everyone," Mr Aplin said, "so the Committee wants to hear about your interests, experiences and concerns."

Staysafe will receive submissions up to Monday, September 17 proposing issues for future inquiries.
"We want people to tell us why an issue is important, why it should be explored by Staysafe, how Government policy and practice will be improved, how it supports the NSW or national road safety strategy, and what benefits the community will enjoy," Mr Aplin said.
Submissions should be no more than 500 words or two pages, with a maximum of eight pages of attachments.
"We will review and publish the submissions we receive, and then rank them according to the public's and our own views," Mr Aplin said.
The Committee will report to the Parliament making recommendations for inquiries to be undertaken after the next state election in 2019.
