STRATEGY FOR SAFE JOURNEYS TO SCHOOL
Life Support - Advancing the Global Agenda for Financing and Action on Road Safety
In far too many countries road traffic injuries and fatalities are increasing. We need to accelerate progress in delivering road safety around the world and for this, financing is critical. Yet too often, even when financing is available for roads and transportation, effective road safety is not the outcome. ‘Life Support’ presents the priority actions needed in order to strengthen financing and deliver results through to 2030.
