Another important contribution of this @EU_Commission towards #VisionZero of road fatalities & seriously injured. @Transport_EU published concrete steps to implement Strategic Action plan for #RoadSafety in #EU for 2021-2030, w/ key performance indicators. https://t.co/4CBmUzh0oa

At their inaugural meeting in London today, our panel of road safety experts from across the Commonwealth, expressed strong support for the #50by30 campaign. Working to ensure casualty reduction is kept at the top of the Global Goals agenda. #SpeakUp #SDGs #UNGRSW

[Cllr. David Ward @DavidDjward]

Fantastic support from members @RoadSafetyNGOs for #50by30 campaign to halve road deaths & injuries. In the Chania Declaration NGOs are sending powerful call for action at the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference in Sweden next February.

@DamianGreen The tweet that I posted was the only occasion I have mentioned you in a tweet. what offensive tweet are you referring to? There is no justification for your decision to block me.

[Cllr. David Ward @DavidDjward]

Delighted to be hosting first meeting of the Expert Panel of the Commonwealth Road Safety Initiative #CRSI today @FIAFdn in London. Exciting new initiative to encourage Commonwealth countries to support target to halve road deaths & serious injuries #50by30

Road fatalities in India twice the number officially reported, says World Health Organisation. Full info on WHO's '2018 Global Status Report on Road Safety' https://t.co/FyxvJF3jlw

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Road traffic crashes are not “accidents”.

When someone drives drunk and crashes, it’s not an accident.

When a driver is distracted by their mobile phone and crashes, it’s not an accident.

When a motorcyclist dies because they’re not wearing a helmet, it’s not an accident.

Please read the @WHO Global Status Report on #RoadSafety. it is clear that road safety needs to be a higher priority in the global agenda. It's now the biggest killer of children and young adults across the globe and 1.35 million people are still dying on our roads.#TimeForChange

Great presentation by Antonio Avenoso director of @ETSC_EU on road safety past 2020 and vehicle safety. If new vehicle safety measures are introduced 25,000 lives could be saved. So please support their new “Last night the E.U. saved my life campaign” #roadsafety2020

[Alex Ward @alextowardszero]

The new @Transport_EU Deputy Director Matthew Baldwin calls on new road safety targets for deaths and serious injuries past 2020 as “road safety needs to catch up with the rest of the transport safety world” #roadsafety2020

[Alex Ward @alextowardszero]

In her video message to the event today @Transport_EU Commissioner Violeta Bulc has called on a greater paradigm shift towards a safe systems approach for EU road safety. #roadsafety2020

[Alex Ward @alextowardszero]

Great to be today at the @ETSC_EU and @EU2018AT Road Safety 2020+ event today in Vienna.

[UNECE @UNECE]

Today, 2 key #UN road safety Conventions turn 50.
Learn why for @JeanTodt, @UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for #RoadSafety, their lifesaving impact is essential for improving road safety in countries all over the world

Great to see @vickyford MP highlight the importance of U.K. alignment with EU vehicle safety standards in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. To see how important this is watch: https://t.co/bx67v4tUpB. Read full debate here: https://t.co/CW5rlZdQed…

[Cllr. David Ward @DavidDjward]

Delighted to see MPs such as @FitzMP raise issue of setting target to halve road deaths & serious injuries in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. #50by30 issue won’t go away as prevention strategy incoherent without overall performance measure. Read full debate here https://t.co/2QDy6giojb

[Cllr. David Ward @DavidDjward]

Strong case for adoption of a road safety target made by @MattRodda in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. The Govt already accepted both EU & UN SDG target for 2020 so hard to understand why it won’t now set a new target to halve road deaths & serious injuries #50by30 https://t.co/2QDy6giojb

[Alex Ward @alextowardszero]

As the World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion opens today, it is vital that a new global road safety target is adopted to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 50% by 2030! #50by30 #Safety2018

[National Road Safety Council Armenia @NRSC_Armenia]

Attending Alex Ward presentation from @TowardsZeroFdn on Global Ministerial Conference in 2020. What to do by then? Discussing it right now!
