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 the solution to reducing them further would be, hear me out, encouraging poublic transportation? Shocking, right? Please do something about it, especially in eastern europe. In romania and bulgaria the situation of public transportation outside 2-3 major cities is very dire.

@spitfire @EUCommission In theory, yes, in practice without EU guidance, at least, won't happen.

@justive @EUCommission I’m not sure they go that deep into countries internal affairs.
