Community Road Safety
Increasing community road safety involves addressing issues related to speeding, tailgating, distracted driving, impaired driving, sharing the road with bicycles, pedestrians and micromobility options, and other road risks. Road safety strategies tailored to communities are needed to make roads safe.
We unite stakeholders to influence road safety programs from the ground up based on the unique features of each community. This creates engagement by making road safety more personally relevant which can inspire behaviour change.
Personalization of issues engages community members and stakeholders to work together towards a five-star road safety plan.
