We’re launching our latest annual report at the UN in Geneva to coincide with the @UNECE World Forum for Road Traffic Safety. For insights into all our programmes & campaigns read the full document here: http://bit.ly/2NlfX4U #50by30 #VisionZero

Launched during the 5th @UNGRSW the @commonwealthrsi will address the urgent action needed to help prevent predictable and preventable deaths & serious injuries on the roads of Commonwealth countries. For more insights: http://bit.ly/2H6IEOF

Setting ambitious targets is recognised as an effective policy to improve road safety. Target setting has also become increasingly viewed as an essential part of the safe system approach to casualty reduction. We discuss both today as we #SpeakUp in support of #UNGRSW and set a road casualty reduction agenda for beyond 2020. #50by30

Great to see the @RoadSafetyNGOs community from across the world joining our #StoptheCrash demonstrations and backing our campaign call for a new casualty reduction target: #50by30. http://bit.ly/2D4mhqD

"My three-point plan, to set a new UN target for 2030, to boost funding, and to increase political commitment for road safety, is inter-related. A target is needed to measure performance, funds are needed for effectiveness, and political commitment is needed for action. All three are about leadership. The ITF Summit is a unique forum where Transport Ministers can demonstrate leadership and I am very grateful for this opportunity to address you and to make this request."

Our Patron HRH Prince Michael of Kent addressing the #UNGA #4roadsafety Debate calls for a redoubling of efforts in the last two years of the ‘Decade of Action’ to set a new path of road safety progress for 2030. Full speech here: http://bit.ly/2GWo8C4 #50by30

Funding for global road safety initiatives remains wholly inadequate. With the notable exception of @BloombergDotOrg, @FIAFdn and some official bilateral donors resources at present are far below the estimated $770 million per year required to achieve the reductions in road fatalities and serious injuries envisaged by the #SDGs.
