Global Plan - Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020

"I call on Member States, international agencies, civil society organizations, businesses and community leaders to ensure that the Decade leads to real improvements. As a step in this direction, governments should release their national plans for the Decade when it is launched globally on 11 May 2011." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon proudly displays the Global Plan which he received on a recent visit from Asian film star Michelle Yeoh, Global Ambassador for the Make Roads Safe campaign.

The UN Road Safety Collaboration has developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 with input from many partners through an extensive consultation process through meetings and the Internet.

The Plan provides an overall framework for activities which may take place in the context of the Decade. The categories or "pillars" of activities are: building road safety management capacity; improving the safety of road infrastructure and broader transport networks; further developing the safety of vehicles; enhancing the behaviour of road users; and improving post-crash care. Indicators have been developed to measure progress in each of these areas.

Governments, international agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector and other stakeholders are invited to make use of the Plan as a guiding document for the events and activities they will support as part of the Decade.

UN Road Safety Collaboration Vision for Change The Decade of Action for Road Safety is an historic opportunity to offer Member States and their partners a framework for action which could ultimately save millions of lives across the ten-year period. The vision is a world in which mobility is safe for all those who use the world's roads. The alternative is grim: if no action is taken to address the current crisis, road traffic fatalities are forecast to rise from the current level of nearly 1.3 million deaths annually to more than 1.9 million deaths per year by 2020. The goal of the Decade is to stabilize and then reduce the number of lives lost. The Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety, prepared by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration and many other stakeholders, outlines a course of action for ensuring that this vision becomes a reality
