On 24 February, PACTS and The Road Safety Trust convened the Road Safety Strategy Summit in London, bringing together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and advocates to discuss the Government’s recently published Road Safety Strategy.
The event focused on five key themes:
-
- Public consent and legitimacy
- Young, novice, and high-risk road users
- Enforcement, justice, and legitimacy
- Infrastructure, place, and inequality
- Data, evidence, and learning
Paul Steinberg, Deputy Chief Executive of the Road Safety Trust, said:
“The consensus statement arising from this summit will provide Government with a credible, evidence-led indication of where alignment genuinely exists, while respecting the independence of individual organisations’ consultation responses.”
Jamie Hassall, Executive Director of PACTS, added:
“By working together, we can help the Government reduce road deaths and serious injuries dramatically over the next decade. This summit marks a pivotal moment to sharpen progress for the next ten years, and we all have a part to play in making this vision a reality.”
The partnership between PACTS and The Road Safety Trust highlights the power of coordinated leadership in advancing safer roads and stronger sector engagement.
