RACV Decade of Action

 

The United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 aims to reduce the global loss of life and trauma associated with road crashes. Nearly 1.3 million people die every year on the world's roads, and up to 50 million are injured. In Victoria, nearly 300 people die each year on our roads, and another 5,500 are hospitalised. That is an unacceptable loss of life and injury that also affects families, friends, workplaces and community groups in addition to those killed and injured. The goal of the Decade is to stabilise and then reduce the forecast level of road traffic fatalities by 50% around the world by 2020.

The Decade was launched globally on 11 May 2011. RACV is making a significant contribution to the Decade of Action by delivering road safety programs that aim to create safer cars, safer roads and safer road users.
