Introduction

Developing an effective National Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) is essential for reducing traffic fatalities, improving mobility, and strengthening national socio-economic resilience. As road transport demands grow, countries must adopt data-driven road safety management systems, implement Vision Zero principles, and align their national strategies with global frameworks such as the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety, the Safe System Approach, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developing a National Road Safety Strategy Training Course equips participants with cutting-edge tools, global best practices, and proven methodologies to create comprehensive, scalable, and sustainable national strategies.

In today’s rapidly evolving mobility landscape shaped by smart transportation, automation, urbanization, and population growth governments must proactively integrate road safety governance, evidence-based interventions, and multisector collaboration. This course empowers participants to transform high-level policy intent into actionable national plans that reduce road trauma, enhance enforcement, strengthen infrastructure safety, and improve emergency response systems. Participants will learn to design a strategy that is realistic, adaptive, and deeply rooted in global safety standards.
