Great to see Vicky Ford MP highlight the importance of U.K. alignment with EU vehicle safety standards in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. To see how important this is watch: youtu.be/gDIQQ5aaa-Y. Read full debate here: hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2018-1…
Strong case for adoption of a road safety target made by Matt Rodda in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. The Govt already accepted both EU & UN SDG target for 2020 so hard to understand why it won’t now set a new target to halve road deaths & serious injuries #50by30 hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2018-1…
In her video message to the event today EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc has called on a greater paradigm shift towards a safe systems approach for EU road safety. #roadsafety2020
The new EU Transport Deputy Director Matthew Baldwin calls on new road safety targets for deaths and serious injuries past 2020 as “road safety needs to catch up with the rest of the transport safety world” #roadsafety2020
Great presentation by Antonio Avenoso director of European Transport Safety Council on road safety past 2020 and vehicle safety. If new vehicle safety measures are introduced 25,000 lives could be saved. So please support their new “Last night the E.U. saved my life campaign” #roadsafety2020
Please read the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Status Report on #RoadSafety. it is clear that road safety needs to be a higher priority in the global agenda. It's now the biggest killer of children and young adults across the globe and 1.35 million people are still dying on our roads.#TimeForChange
Delighted to be hosting first meeting of the Expert Panel of the Commonwealth Road Safety Initiative #CRSI today FIA Foundation in London. Exciting new initiative to encourage Commonwealth countries to support target to halve road deaths & serious injuries #50by30
Fantastic support from members Road Safety Alliance for #50by30 campaign to halve road deaths & injuries. In the Chania Declaration NGOs are sending powerful call for action at the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference in Sweden next February.
Another important contribution of this European Commission towards #VisionZero of road fatalities & seriously injured. EU Transport published concrete steps to implement Strategic Action plan for #RoadSafety in #EU for 2021-2030, w/ key performance indicators. bit.ly/2x5kA9e
