This week, the International Transport Forum<\/a> is drawing Ministers together from 63 countries to advance road safety and the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety<\/a> is encouraging all to #CommitToAct<\/a>. In recognition, we’re celebrating the growing list of countries setting 3-star or better target commitments in their national and regional road safety strategies, road infrastructure projects and funding schemes.<\/p>\n We’re gathering 3-star or better policy commitments and sharing them with partners as examples all countries can emulate.<\/p>\n Congratulations to all on this fantastic leadership! And readers, please help us gr<\/strong>ow our list!<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out these inspirational policy examples including 3-Star or Better targets to eliminate high-risk roads<\/strong>:

number of development banks – World Bank, Millennium Challenge Corporation, Inter-American Development Bank, European Investment Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Asian Development Bank and Africa Infrastructure Investment Bank – are ensuring the safety of their investments by including 3-star or better targets in their project lending.<\/p>\n Safe road infrastructure is a key focus of the\u00a0Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030,<\/a> as are UN Targets 3 and 4 which include ensuring all new roads are built to a 3-star or better standard for all road users (Target 3), and more than 75% of travel is on the equivalent of 3-star or better roads for all road users by 2030 (Target 4).<\/p>\n iRAP is supporting partners and governments as they draw on the Global Plan to develop and implement national and local strategies such as these.<\/p>\n If you’re still developing your 2030 strategy and annual action plans, click here for sample infrastructure targets and actions<\/a> for inclusion or review the strategy examples above.<\/p>\n On 30 June and 1 July, leaders from across the globe will gather at the United Nations in New York for the first ever\u00a0High-level Meeting on Road Safety<\/a>. iRAP is calling on every country to actively participate, share successes such as these and commit to implement the Global Plan to save lives and serious injuries.<\/p>\n The Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety is also mapping road safety commitments around the world – 63 so far, 4 in planning, 34 in progress and 22 completed. See their map here<\/a> to see if your country is included. We’re supporting their campaign, calling on governments to commit to act for people’s right to safe mobility and a 50% reduction in road deaths and injuries this decade.<\/p>\n Let’s keep the momentum going!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”Contribute more policy examples to judy.williams@irap.org” _builder_version=”4.12.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week, the International Transport Forum is drawing Ministers together from 63 countries to advance road safety and the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety is encouraging all to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":54155,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" This week is #CommitToAct Week, led by the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety and we're celebrating the growing list of countries setting 3-star or better target commitments in their National and Regional Strategies, road infrastructure projects (new road designs and existing road upgrades) and funding schemes.
