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 I think the best way to prevent road deaths is simple, deprioritize the car and individual transport. Less cars is less accidents, and where you still have cars you slow them down and frustrate the drivers as much as possible. One good way to do that (and reach your climate goals on top!) is just investing heavily in public transport instead of roads and cars. We won't win the "EV wars" with China anyway, if you wish to go green you will not beat their EVs. Just builld trains, we're good at that here still regardless.
