Subcommittee on Global Road Safety ANB10(8)

Sunday, January 13, 2019 9:00AM to 12:00PM, Convention Center, 103A

Nearly 1.3 million people die annually on the world's roads, and 20-50 million sustain non-fatal injuries. Agencies and organizations express concern over transportation related fatalities and mobilize to achieve zero fatalities, yet trends continue in the wrong direction. This workshop will discuss necessary steps to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for road safety, including the Safe System approach. Participants will learn from case studies of integrated approaches to prevent needless human loss.

The rapid global motorization is putting undue pressure on the safety of bicycles, with the burden falling most heavily on low/middle-income countries. This workshop will provide practitioners and researchers with an understanding of the challenges and solutions for the global bicycle safety problem. The workshop would include a combination of podium presentations by global bike safety experts, as well as an interactive session that would allow participants to interactively respond to real-life bicycle safety issues.

Sunday, January 8, 2017 9:00AM to 12:00PM, Convention Center 101

Agencies around the world are setting injury and fatality targets. Globally, the UN has set a Sustainable Development Goal to halve the number of global deaths and injuries from traffic accidents by 2020 (SDG 3.6). To accomplish this, agencies should make progress across multiple safety pillars which include: management, roads, vehicles, users, EMS. This workshop will demonstrate and discuss setting and achieving performance measures for different pillars, and for the overarching fatality goals.

The notion that road deaths and injuries can be eliminated began in the mid-1990s and continues to evolve. Whether the approach is termed Vision Zero, Sustainable Safety or Towards Zero Deaths, the safe system approach presents challenges and opportunities. Many countries, states, and cities are interested in establishing holistic safety programs. Thisworkshop will explore practical examples of program successes and challenges to assist safety champions and stakeholders.

Pedestrians account for 22% of the 1.24 million traffic deaths a year, with the burden falling most heavily on low- and middle-income countries. This workshop is designed for practitioners and researchers to provide an understanding of challenges and solutions for the pedestrian safety problem. Experts present the latest research on pedestrian safety across the Five Pillars of the UN Decade of Action: safety management, safer roads, safer vehicles, safer road users, and postcrash response.

January 13, 2013, 8:30AM to 12:00PM EST Marriott Wardman Hotel, Room: Washington B6

The UN Road Safety Collaboration has developed a Global Plan of Action that provides an overall framework for activities built around five "pillars": building road safety management capacity; improving the safety of road infrastructure and broader transport networks; further developing the safety of vehicles; enhancing the behavior of road users; and improving post-crash care. Presentations in this workshop covered strategies to inprove global road safety around these five pillars.
