13th Meeting of the UN Road Safety Collaboration

11 – 13 April 2011
London, UK

The 13th UN Road Safety Collaboration meeting was hosted by the FIA Foundation in London from 11-13 April 2011. The meeting took place in conjunction with the high-profile launch of the new Commission for Global Road Safety report entitled "Time for Action". The focus of the UN Road Safety Collaboration meeting, which convened 100 representatives of more than 60 organizations, was the launch of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, the newly established Road Safety Fund and discussion on how Collaboration members can assist countries to implement their national plans of action. In addition, the three project groups (good practices, infrastructure and work-related road safety) met to discuss their progress. A new project group to monitor and evaluate the Decade of Action was established, chaired by the Road Traffic Injury Research Network delegate. During the meeting the UN Road Safety Collaboration was pleased to announce that the Network for Employers of Traffic Safety (NETS) and the South African Road Traffic Management Corporation were formally accepted as new Collaboration members.
