A single road death is one too many.

In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.

Progress is real but not enough.

To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.

We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.

Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.

@EUCommission Maybe having fewer, smaller, slower cars on the road would be an even quicker way to safeguard pedestrians. Just an idea.

@csepp Nono, BIGGER cars. That can hold 40-70 people. With professional drivers. We can call it BRING US SAFELY. Or BUS for short.

@holsta @EUCommission Huh, if someone had a car that big, they could even do some sort of car-sharing. Heck, they could do that professionally, in coordination with the other B.U.S. owners, traveling on pre-defined routes, following a predictable timetable.
