Monitoring Progress in Urban Road Safety
The International Transport Forum (ITF) at the OECD launched the ITF Safer City Streets initiative in 2016. It brings together road safety experts working in cities and explores the solutions developed at a local level. Cities in the network improve their urban road safety performance by sharing data, experience and knowledge and learning from each other.
The ITF published the world’s first road safety benchmark at the city level in 2018 and developed indicators to monitor progress. The ITF updated this road safety benchmark in 2020 to monitor the developments.
The third in a series of urban road safety benchmarking reports is available here. It provides updates on road safety data in cities in the Safer City Streets network. Drawing on Safer City Streets meetings, conferences and webinars, it highlights best practices and identifies room for progress towards better urban road safety policies.
