73rd Road Safety Congress 25-27 February 2008, Crowne Plaza, Glasgow
Securing Wider Engagement in Road Safety

In association with

One of the key challenges for road safety is to encourage positive engagement from individuals, communities, organisations, the media and government. Improved road safety benefits everyone: individual road users, families and communities, and society in general. It reduces death and injury, improves the quality and dependability of travel, saves an enormous amount of wasted resources and enhances our quality of life.

However, it can be difficult to engage people and organisations in road safety. It can be portrayed as boring, as the ‘nanny-state’ infringing personal freedom, or as unimportant. At best, a lack of engagement can mean that road safety policies and activities are not as effective as they could be; at worst, there can be active resistance to, or deliberate disregard of, road safety measures.

Congress will explore the potential for, and benefits of securing wider engagement in road safety, reasons why this can be difficult, whether we are reaching all the key audiences in the best ways, and successful ways of doing so and of working across organisational boundaries
